This article was created and showcased by BIASED anti-aspartame pro Stevia
types:

1. The writer, James S. Turner, is a partner in the Washington, D.C.,
law firm of Swankin and Turner who aggressively and profitably attack
aspartame as a part of their living.

2. The web page is from http://www.stevia.net/ , home of the TOTALLY
BIASED folks who want to bring us the South American herb called Stevia
rebaudiana Bertoni, a sweet herb that is touted to be the replacement for
aspartame and a cure for anything, save personal hygiene issues, but has
failed to gain FDA approval by flunking studies that the pure food
enthusiasts want in place.

The usual diarrhea of name calling, innuendo, denigration and slander is
plentiful in Turner's article. Seems the facts do not support themselves so
we need some emotional supercharging.

A great lack of unbiased reporting to support the anti-aspartame campaign.
Hmmm?? Sounds like the same techniques used against GMO and "the
establishment".

Gotta love the internet.
