TOUCHDOWNNNNNN!!! Cargill Gets Stevia Past Los Federales. -TRUVIA Is Here!!!
FINALLY you don't have to go out all the way to the Health Food Store to get your hands on some non-lethal, non-sugar sweetener.
Years and years after the Nutrasweet corporation helped to scuttle Stevia into the "Supplements" category, even though it's been on the GRAS list in Europe for quite awhile, it -or at least MegaCorp Cargill's version of the sweetener is now GRAS as far as El Fed is concerned.

Can Burton Water Salts Cure Sensitive Teeth?
I soon found myself having very sensitive teeth.

Clay-Eating Cheeky Monkeys And The Elusive Stomach Flu / Viral Gastroenteritis Remedy

Vegetarians Responsible For Global Warming
And that man is Carlos Mencia.
Love him or hate him, he's right. Vegetarians, especially ones addicted to leafy greens instead of Tofu-snorting, are themselves the planet-destroying enviro-pariahs they love to dehumanize and rag on.
