What's interesting as well is endoresing the labeling of sacharine, aspartame and sucralose as "sweetners", while natural products like stevia, just a pure plant extract CANNOT be labeled as a sweetner even thought it's sweeter than sugar. The sugar loby is quite powerful, and often gets what it wants from the gov.

Wa'il
