Anybody hip to Stevia here?

Question:

I've ALWAYS been skeptical whenever any governmental body tried to tell me to do or not to do anything. Turns out I was right all the time! I've been a diabetic, since 1974, and thanks to the FDA aspartame, Nutri-Sweet, has been legally poisoning me and everybody else. Aspartame, Equal, Nutra-Sweet and other names, has been shown to cause Cancer in an Italian study and is TOTALLY banned from Japan. Now these stuffed shirt's have had other, harmless, sweeteners banned from the US market, until 1994 I believe Stevia a herb that has been in use, almost, everywhere but here. Free market? Well, if you're wondering why those Artificial Sweeteners cost so much; the lobbyists cost big bucks. And guess who pays? Kind of makes me wonder WTF the Petroleum Industry, a much more powerful group especially with Bubba as President, is having banned currently? In about 50 years, by use of the Freedom of Information Act, we may discover somebody thought up a way to get energy from water but the Grease Monkeys kept it off the market. It would NOT be the first time such a thing has happened. For more info about Aspartame go here;

Answers:
Yeah, alternative health care providers have had this information for years. You have to look out for YOURSELF in this day and age. Stevia isn't bad, but a bit too sweet for me. I am not diabetic, so I prefer Xylitol. I don't know if a diabetic could use it though.

Truth is, the general public wants to have a diet soda so badly that they would only get mad at a governmental agency that would ban it.
