Stevia the coverup part 3
Whoops - sometimes I need to wake up - as a Nature's Sunshine distributor I have just discovered I can buy this herb in powder form from the U.S. - I am searching for a source within Europe.
Stevia - the Coverup part 2
Following on from my original post below the above link makes very intersting reading.
STEVIA the coverup!
How much proof do you need that the multi-nationals actually work against our best interests?
How would you feel if I told you you weren't allowed to grow your own basil plants (or any other herb) as a large company was applying to have it patented it so that only they could process it and pass it on the cusomer at vastly inflated prices - outraged? Surely 'they' can't patent a natural product - oh yes they can - they are certainly trying!
Ever heard of Stevia? It is a herb that is hundreds of times sweeter than sugar - it has no calories and can be used by diabetics - it has been used for hundreds if not thousands of years in the far east - so why are we not all growing it and using it especially as the sugar and the artifical sweetners we use act as a poison to our bodies i.e. obesity, diabeties etc?
Why? because a certain multi-national corporation has applied for a patent and in the meantime Stevia is not allowed to be mentioned in certain circles so as not to alert the public. When you know about it you'll all want it and somone else wants to make money out of your want.
Patents on herbs - GM crops that you have to rebuy the seeds for each year - this isn't business this is control and domination of vast sections of the human race. Reminds me of the Nazis.
Anyway, at time of writing it is not yet illegal to buy Stevia on the internet - for starters see the link above. Good hunting and tasting.
