The thing is, where has the FDA been..... I wonder if J&J is behind 
the Splenda product? Maybe it was easier to sell it in Canada.
It sure has it's fans. Someone replied about it to my note on 
the DIABETES echo.

With the bigger market that the USA is, it may be more profitable
to mass produce it for us. I hope so. I'm really afraid of the blue

and tea, but there isn't anything else for cold drinks.

Check the label for me, who puts it out? I guess I should 
remember to do a web search for it and the sucralose...
