According to Dr. Rona there has never been a report of an adverse reaction linked to stevia while complaints flood into Mission Possible on aspartame from seizures and blindness to brain tumors and death. The FDA Report itself lists 92 documented symptoms including death. They are not even acknowledging to the press the true number of complaints and even in Congress it was admitted that they have gone so far as to refer complaints to the AIDS Hotline to prevent their record. But even with their blind eye and deaf ear the disease and death continues on aspartame in record numbers and a paper distributed at the First International Conference on Emerging Diseases written by Dr. Roberts has declared Aspartame to be a disease and worldwide epidemic. In 1991, the FDA banned stevia imports for use in foods, reported at the request of an aspartame manufacturer.
Stevia is also non-patentable, another undesirable feature for the drug barons.
Dozens of well-designed studies of stevia's safety, chemistry and stability for use in different food products have been published worldwide. We will continue to deny that aspartame is a deadly drug, and propagate the myth that it is the most tested drug in history. We will steadfastly continue our undying loyalty to Monsanto Chemical, the largest manufacturer of poisons in the world.
