The non-patentable, natural Stevia is the main competitor for a multi-billion dollar sweetener industry. If this sounds far-fetched, watch this excerpt from the documentary “Sweet Misery” on how the FDA initially banned Aspartame for 16 years, but Donald Rumsfeld – President of Searle and member of Reagan’s transition team – fired the FDA chief and put a puppet in his place who overturned Aspartame’s ban during his first day in office. Aspartame-patentholder Searle was sold to Monsanto – a major Aspartame producer.
Donald Rumsfeld didn’t just help a few million people into an early grave by “managing” the US slaughter in Viet Nam and Iraq – he also “managed” millions of his fellow countrymen into an early grave by getting Aspartame FDA-unbanned by corrupt and nepotistic means. Since the stuff was being used in softdrinks and other foods, people were dropping like flies, but the US government and the FDA refused to disclose reports of bad side effects, let alone disclosing that Aspartame causes cancer.
This is only the tip of the iceberg – the report excludes long-term symptoms like cancer and Alzheimer. Since Aspartame got FDA-approval, Alzheimer incidency doubled. Nowadays the toxicity of Aspartame is well established and it is held responsible for everything from ADHD to brain damage. No wonder – Aspartame’s main metabolites are formaldehyde (embalming fluid) and wood alcohol (terrible poison), amongst a few toxic others.
The availability of stevia varies from country to country. In a few countries, it has been available as a sweetener for decades or centuries; for example, stevia has been widely used for decades as a sweetener in Japan.
a lot of these artificial sweeteners commonly found in diet food and drinks are quite toxic to the human body. the US has the highest rate of cancer in the world. it also has the highest consumption rate of artificial sweeteners, highest consumption of genetically modified foods and other artificial ingredients that have been banned in the EU and Japan. doesn't take a genius to connect the dots. there is a definite link here.
yep, stevia is not banned. the reason it isnt put in a lot i diet beverages is because it has a different taste than that of sugar or artificial sweeteners. beverage makers are working on the issue though.
there's a japanese market I go to in manhattan all the time they carry gum made with xyletol which is supposed to actually be better for you than stevia. I have stevia at home that I bought a few weeks ago it's good but VERY sweet, when I put some in my coffee or tea I generally use 1 or 2 packets and its alright. I'm thinking when I run out of this stuff I will buy a large bag of Xyletol and just load it into mason jars. It's sad that as a country even the drinks that are supposed to be better for you are filled with junk sweeteners. I can't even believe when one goes to buy a loaf of bread it has HFCS heck even many of the pasta sauces I see have it.. WHY?? We have flouride in the water, We HFCS in our sodas or other food supply, we have Aspartame in our diet soft drinks there really doesn't seem to be a way to get away from this garbage. IT would be nice if our soft drink companies and even the companies that provides candy and other sweets would look more into using these types of sweeteners and move away from the cheap and toxic junk.
How can stevia be banned? I bought some yesterday.
You nuts! OP meant him:
