Comment on Engineered yeast breaks new record: a genome with over 50% synthetic DNA

Oh ffs. Blood cholesterol is a red herring, more or less of the “dead fire fighters found at conflagration, let’s blame them for it” type, additionally nutritional cholesterol has no impact on blood cholesterol. Lactose well your gut might not care for it but mine is totally fine with it and it’s a sugar, it contributes massively to taste and aroma – most lactose-free milk is produced by “pre-digesting” it by adding lactase making it sweeter as broken up lactose, glucose+galactose are, well, sweeter. If you just use saccharose instead or such you won’t get actual milk taste. Not having random cow cells in there well why not if nothing else it’s going to make things more shelf-stable.

Yeah I can’t see how this is supposed to replace milk, if it misses half of what makes it milk. I really the idea of ethical dairy so if they could produce actual milk out of some bacteria I would buy that in a heartbeat. Just not some weird approximation.
