So far, USA print and broadcast media are deaf, blind, and dumb,
regarding recent major bans of aspartame and MSG in the UK and EU.

The EU Parliament voted July 12 to ban artificial sweeteners in newly
born and infant foods.

On May 15 four huge UK supermarket chains announced bans of aspartame
and MSG, food dyes, and many additives to protect kids from ADHD --
Sainsbury, Tesco, Marks & Spencer, and ASDA, a unit of WalMart.

May 31: Coca-Cola and the much larger Cargill Inc., after years of
secret development, with 24 patents, will soon sell rebiana (stevia)
in drinks and food in the many nations where it is approved as a
sweetener -- for decades a major sweetener in Japan, China , Korea,
Taiwan , Thailand, Malasia, Saint Kitts, Nevis, Brazil, Peru,
Paraguay, Uruguay, and Israel, and an approved supplement in USA,
Australia, and Canada, according to Wikipedia.

I'll probably use whatever artificial sweetner they put into diet soft
drinks and whatever you can buy in packet or granular form. Right now,
my favorites in order are aspartame (Equal), sucralose (Splenda), and
a distant 3rd is saccharin (Sweet n Low). I never tried any of the
other stuff, but look forward to it provided it is cheap and sweet
with no aftertaste. I don't even worry about these being safe, cause I
figure they've been studied thoroughly and if there were significant
health problems, they wouldn't be on the market. dkw
