Again you are a moron as in tube feeding the fluid is placed into a tube
directly into the stomach. No taste is involved. It is a balanced meal of
fats, protein, carbs, minerals and all vitamins.
You have no idea of what you are talking about. It is the only way to keep
somebody alive.
You can not give enough volume of your home made liquified meals because
they have trouble swallowing in those still taking food that way. IT IS NOT
CONCENTRATED enough to do them any good.

The main energy source of the cell is glucose. Learn some biochemistry and
go to school. Nutritionally enlightened? People are starving to death moron
which is why they need a high concentration of carbs etc. They can not eat a
normal diet. You are lucky to get one teaspoon full of liquid by mouth and
you want to dilute it to a gallon so it doesnt' taste too sweet. You are
equating somebody who has type II diabetes because they eat like pigs and
take high carb drinks to somebody who is starving.
Get a clue.

You never worked in a hospital moron so you have no idea. Try taking care of
a sick person for a change.
You are not talking simply of hospitalized patients but home based people.
Go back and get your Phd in newsgroup crap.
