janice also post what happened when monsanto tried to export stevia, did they have to pay aznt a cut maybe and decided nah, were they about to go to fda for approval until aznt exclusive export agreement turned up????

I take it you mean "import". Marcos has already demonstrated that AZNT by no means has an exclusive import license (into the States) or an exclusive export license (out of Brazil) for Amazonian herbs and herbal products.

Note also that stevia is also grown in the States. You don't have to go to Brazil for it.

Stevia In The U.S.
The Stevia Company of Illinois was formed in 1976 to explore the potential of this natural
sweetener as a part of the newly health-conscious American market. The company
worked on better propagation techniques, hybridized more easily-grown varieties
including an American stevia, and acquired patents for the use of stevia extract
derivatives in the U.S. as "flavor enhancers." Throughout the 1980s, stevia's sweet leaves
could be found in popular commercial teas as a touch of herbal sweetness.
