Splenda tablets - Why can't Johnson & Johnson sell them in the US?

I don't feel like providing the links yet again. For one thing, it can't be sold legally as a sweetener in the USA and is banned in many other countries. That in itself should tell you something. If you really want to know, then look it up. But you probably don't want to know since I suspect you are just another Stevia troll. -- Type 2 http://users.bestweb.net/~jbove/ |

why not try stevia instead? Splenda is a sugar molecule with a chlorine pasted on it. A tasty invention, but is it safe? now the stevia shills are attacking splenda and have nothing to back up their "suspicions" so give it a few minutes to a couple of days and they will post the same fiction about splenda they made up about aspartame. stevia is banned in teh USA from being sold a s sweetener and is banned completely in several locations outside the USA. personally I thought stevia was bitter tasting thing that should never be lied about and called a sweetener. |

I personally think the packets of Splenda serve the same purpose, so it would be hard to convince them of the the need to make both available in the US. I think many consumers here equate "tablet" with "medication" and that may be a drawback. I'd rather have the liquid form. Equal makes a tablet form and all the stores in this area sell it and have for years. Someone must be buying it. The tablet form of Splenda would be great for people on the go, who eat out often, or who travel extensively and prefer Splenda. Some of us might want the choice and convenience. |

Splenda tablets - Why can't Johnson & Johnson sell them in the US?
Sonos,
Stevia tastes nasty. And yes, there are some very negative reports about it. Being someone who has used herbal medicine in the past, when I first came to this newsgroup and asked about it, I got jumped on seriously. If you really want to know, do what Julie said and do a search on it. Meanwhile, you would do well not to take your chances with it, and most especially don't try and push it on this newsgroup. Splenda doesn't taste bad at all, and I am sure it has been tested more rigorously than Stevia ever was. As an example, are you aware that people used to drink Sassafras tea? Turned out that Sassafras is poisonous. So citing long use is not necessarily a valid argument. -- Evelyn (To reply to me personally, remove sox) "Sonos" wrote in message ...

Read and learn. Learn why stevia is banned in the European Union and other places. Learn what happens to reproductive organs in the male. Learn what happens to mitochondria when exposed to stevioside. We've done our research, sonos, now go do yours. Vicki |
