    Thanks. That article had a paywall I’ve linked an alternative for others if they find this.

    Interesting read. I don’t know how I feel about a company patenting something which has massive health benefits for people like this though.

      Trade secrets aren’t patented because when you patent something, it’ll immediately become public knowledge (not secret anymore) in exchange for exclusive right (no one can use it without your permission) until the patent expires. Coca cola recipe and KFC’s secret spices are examples of trade secrets. If they’re patented, people would’ve been able to create exact copies by now.
