RE: Can Artificial Sweeteners make me feel worse?( from A.)

[Guest guest]

Hi--

I've always had a negative reaction to ANY artificial sweetner. I can

remember at some point during the old bush-as-prez days reading somewhere --this

was re. something which was being done by the FDA; an article I read on a site

or paper-- that allegedly Rumsfeld and pushed for one of the commonly used

artificial sweetners to continue to be 'legal' as there was something about it

being carcinogenic. He'd become involved because of some group with lots of

money pushing this agenda. About all I can recall was that it was a common

articficial thing which was used.

I see Stevia nearly everywhere in stores here; as I understand it, this is

supposed to be a decent alternative and most definitely NOT sugar. The actual

plant is, I think from South America although one can get seeds via the net. Not

sure what you 'do' to the plant in growing it yourself. I have seen organic

versions, however.
