Hi Charlie,

I admit my stupidity. I do not get it either. Can you explain to me what

the big deal is? Thanks. Carol F

The Coca-Cola Co. will launch three flavors of an Odwalla juice sweetened

with the stevia strain called Rebaudioside A (Reb A) or rebiana-even though

the Atlanta-based beverage giant has yet to receive sign off from the U.S.

Food and Drug Administration (FDA), The Wall Street Journal reported on

October 15. PepsiCo has two stevia-sweetened beverages waiting in the wings

I just think that this is a classic case of cleaning up a pig. They are creating

a " healthy product " by using stevia. they should just deep six the product

itself.
