Oh yea, to the point about sweeteners. I think it's time for the USA to end the Cuba embargo and import their highly desired tobacco, cigars & sugar. We're no longer high and mighty about "human rights", thus all the outsourcing to China with their child labor, slavery/indentured servitude, environmental hazards and other crimes (lead paint in toys, Melamine milk). I see no reason to punish Cuba anymore.
I fear the real reason is that the corn growers are too well supported by ADL with their frankenfoods, and the congressCritters so totally paid off by the lobbyists (using our own money against us!)
