He was nice enough to cook down some of the conclusions into his comment which

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.

Cooking Sometimes Best Prep For Veggies -TAKE THAT, Natalie Portman!!!
-Sooooooo Burrrrrrrrned!!!
It's anathema for people like that to get over the "Eat it as I found it"-mantra, but various forms of cooking can help develop/change the amount of nutrients that actually make it into your bloodstream, instead of just passing through you.
One of the veggies that benefits is the tomato. Raw food studies have found people deficient in Lycopene if it's not cooked. ->Viva Italia!
