There is another plot twist you didn’t touch on.

Donald Rumsfeld was on the BOD of Searle and was the one who got Nutrasweet approved by the FDA. They knew how harmful the ‘sweetener’ was, but let’s not let death and disease stand in the way of making a buck.

I’m convinced that all the things we’re told are ‘safe’, ‘ generally recognized as safe (GRAS)’, etc, is all BS.

Thanks for the great post and I agree with all of it except that Stevita Organic liquid Stevia has ZERO Erythritol in it: Ingredients are - water, organic vegetable glycerin, organic stevia extract, and citric acid.

This particular stevia (Stevita Organic Liquid) IS brown liquid and yes, you could pick on the citric acid (which is just about everything else on the shelves also) and you could pick on vegetable glycerin I guess but at the end of the day, I am sticking with Stevita Organic Liquid Stevia.

Feedback: Sometimes you are so focused on demonizing a product that you forget to look at all the other factors (like the FACT that the FDA pushed off stevia coming to market because they were in bed with Monsanto and making billions on Aspartame and later sucralose. They were busily culling the human population using other 'sweet' methods. Why aren't you highlighting this??? This was general knowledge and you focused instead on demonizing Stevia.

I consume TONS of stevia with zero side effects of what you claim are heart and kidney issues. What are the extent of the studies? Where are the cited studies...were these studies on erythritol or stevia? Big difference here. Definitely need more data to make abrupt claims like this.
