Sorry for the goof up. I think it was Dale Baker that I first discussed this company with. Cool little bio-tech waiting to pop. Uses a call center to meet operating costs while researching an alternative sweetener (tagatose) made from whey. BINC has also created a safe-for-humans pesticide called FlyCracker which is now commercially available. Whey is a by-product of dairy operations and completely (100%) natural. Tagatose tastes like sugar, is the same bulk as sugar (i.e. a teaspoon is a teaspoon - no artificial fillers), and can be cooked like sugar (aspartame cannot be cooked.) All of us are waiting on tagatose being declared Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) which is expected this Spring. Last year BINC ran to $14+ on the first attempt by ARLA Foods, a huge European dairy cooperative and the licensee for tagatose production, to get a branch of the World Health Organization (JECFA) to approve tagatose for human consumption. That attempt resulted in an additional liver study being requested. The liver study will be published in 4 to 6 weeks. JECFA meets this June in Rome. Once JECFA is on board the U.S. FDA will be right behind. There is more but I gotta' go. Good trading ;-)
