stevia is okay as a sweetener; don't believe everything you read

[Guest guest]

Dear Tamara,

While I know you had good intentions by posting this information on

stevia, in future please send such long posts to myself or one of the

moderators before posting it. The fact is that this is a total and

utter scam, and it is intended to eliminate stevia sales, which cannot

be patented, to make the way for other artificial sugars. Why would

they still allow aspartame, nutrasweet, Splenda and others yet take

such a harsh stand on stevia? The reason: follow the money and the

influences behind this ban. This has happened with so many natural

substances before, and it is totally suppressive.
