“Same calories per serving as regular tomatoes”
For serious dieting purposes, the effect may be minimal.
Photo=Still from YouTube channel ‘Suspicious Fish’ The twist of the popular ‘Stevia Tomato’, which is said to have a sweet taste and even a diet effect, has been revealed, attracting attention.

Unveiling The Intricacies Of Jane Streets Covert $1…
Proprietary Trading Firms and the Battle for Secrecy
Trading firms that engage in proprietary trading are known for their obsession with secrecy, a characteristic that may not always hold up in legal proceedings. This was evident in a recent federal court hearing involving Jane Street and Millennium Management.
Jane Street sought a temporary restraining order against Millennium, alleging that two former employees, Doug Schadewald and Daniel Spottiswood, took a top-secret trading strategy with them when they joined Millennium. The court denied the restraining order, revealing details about the strategy that had been heavily redacted in the complaint.
The Revealed Strategy and its Lucrative Nature
During the hearing, it was disclosed that the strategy involved short-term options trading in India and had generated $1 billion in profits for Jane Street last year. The firm expected even higher returns in the current year.
Jane Street emphasized the confidentiality of the trade, arguing that disclosing more details could lead to increased competition and potentially undermine the strategy’s profitability.
Challenges of Maintaining Secrecy
Despite Jane Street’s efforts to keep the trade under wraps, references to India in the court proceedings hinted at the location of the market.
