### Stevia Red Herring, Artificial Sweeteners, and Donald Rumsfeld

The sudden promotion of Stevia as a natural sweetener is theorized to be a "red herring" designed to make consumers accept a future, potentially toxic, artificial sweetener. The history of Aspartame's approval under Donald Rumsfeld's influence is cited as a precedent for corporate-government collusion in the food industry. Listeners are asked to research upcoming chemical sweeteners in scientific literature.

### Stevia Sweetener Market and High Fructose Corn Syrup

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/171-botulism-vaccine-coming/chapter/stevia-sweetener-market-and-high-fructose-corn-syrup.md

The sweetener market is shifting toward Stevia, a natural plant-based substitute being promoted by Cargill and PepsiCo under the brand Truvia. This move follows historical bans on Stevia that some believe were intended to protect the aspartame market. Meanwhile, the high fructose corn syrup industry faces potential legal threats similar to the asbestos industry due to health concerns.
