GASP alert 1/11/2006

Stevia. It's a 'nutritional supplement'. Maybe you've seen it at your local grocery store in the 'natural foods' section.

The FDA does not allow Stevia to be labeled as a 'sweetner'. Why? Well as the story goes our own Donald 'Rummy' Rumsfeld stood to make a pretty penny back in the early eighties when a new food additive, aspartame was introduced on the market.

Also known as nutrasweet, Rumsfeld was the president of the drug company, Searle, which produced what was originally supposed to be an ulcer aid.

Well hold on to your pants, after numerous complaints and a review by the CDC that had surmountable evidence of health risks associated with aspartame,Pepsi Cola initiated an intense marketing campaign that put Nutrasweet in every home in America.

Pepsi Cola chairman, Donald Kendal, a good friend and 'confidante' of former White House Chief of staff Rumsfeld got a pat on the back for a job well done.

According to James S. Turner, the source of all this information, 1995 reports show human brain tumors reminicent of the orgianal animal aspartame study groups increased 10%.

Ok, well so I can regurgitate some facts. If you want to know more visit http://www.stevia.net/aspartame.htm and get the full story.
But allow me to draw my own conclusions first. Obviously the 'sweetner' industry is huge. I mean we may not have had slaves if sugar cane wasn't the hottest commodity in the world. So it stands to reason that an alternative like Stevia, which apparently is a lot better for ya sick ass would be hush-hush.

Yep. Well apparently Stevia is pretty big in Japan so maybe I'll just go live over there and escape all the facist oppression here in the US. Not to mention all the Santanaganda.

Hey Santana, what would Che Geuvera choose to sweeten his Sugar Smacks? Capitalist- driven, sugarcane or pure, lucious, sweet leaf from the jungles of Venezuela?
I suppose you're choice would depend on which group buys the most Santana CD's huh?

Stop Santanaganda now. Guard Against Santana Proliferation.
