Are your serious, Billy? Stevia is banned?

I understand it is also widely used in England in powdered form. Why
doesn't Monsanto just pay farmers to grow it and market it? They can

put
it in expensive little pink/green/purple/whatever packets too. Whoops,
guess we can't do that 'cuz it wouldn't be chemical free.


Stevia isn't 'banned', but it isn't allowed to be sold as a sweetner,
it's sold as a 'supplement'. And once again Monsanto strikes.


Perhaps Monsanto is one that is behind the push for legislation to
regulate nutritional supplements? Regulate, as control by
prescription.

Likely them along with the drug companies.

I drink a supplement that has been on the market less than five years and
has been so successful it now has multiple imitators. The FDA has been
watching them very closely the last few months after sales reached a
certain point. Also after two drug companies hired the world's two top
researchers of the fruit. (Research was been done by colleges,
universities, etc., prior to the company starting, none by the company.).
It would be foolish to think it was anything but the drug companies behind
the sudden "close eye" watching. After all, they will put the active
components in a pill to sell for big bucks to people who wouldn't need it
if they were using effective supplements to start with.

Not only will I continuing drinking my supplement, but I will continue
eating my healthy home-grown food! Stevia rocks! (As do many other things
we are all growing.)

Geez, are they going to eventually tell us we cannot grow tomatoes? Or
lettuce? Or carrots?
