Pugs... er.. Bmart, When I have said anything about T.O.N. being required to FDA approval to be sold as a dietary supplement?? I challenge you find where I have posted that. What I have stated is that I am concerned about the claims that are presented in the press releases and the perception that AZNT is creating in that T.O.N. is a sweetener, ie: food additive, that is suitable to replace FDA approved food additives like Nutrasweet and Sweet N Low. Such advertising and claims WOULD fall under the jurisdiction of the FDA. And again, I don't necessarily agree with the FDA rules, but those rules exist so that consumers know that official foods and additives have undergone scrutiny by gov't regulators. Labeling homeopathic and other products as "dietary supplements" protect the consumers freedom of choice and availability of such products that exists demand and a record of safety for. And I have heard both that T.O.N. is a hybrid of Stevia, and that it is in no way related to Stevia. Either way, I don't really care since Stevia seems to a an accepted history of safety and practicality. In fact, were AZNT marketing Stevia and able to do with success, I would be much more confident given that other companies are doing so with some apparent success, eg: Stevita. Money is money in my book and if AZNT were successful marketing stevia with good profits, that would be fine with me too. Whether or not it is Stevia or a hybrid, it still falls under the same regulations as Stevia, since it is also labeled a "dietary supplement", hence the applicability of comparing the two products and how the FDA governs their advertisement and marketing. Are you too dense to understand something so simple as that Pugs.. er.. Bmart? Get a grip, Dude!!! Regards, Ron
