Four more reasons for me to hate Monsanto...
1) Aspartame.. carcinogenic, breaking down into methanol and formaldehyde AND the darn stuff spikes insulin despite not being Sugar.

2) Sucralose, chemically related to dioxin (agent orange, mustard gas) and pcbs. Two more Monsanto inventions. All other synthetic chemicals in this class are known toxins and although no one has shown this to be a poison, no one has actually done the testing to show it isn't. AND because sucralose is 600 times sweeter than sugar they add dextrose and maltodextrin to the packets (sugar). Because they add less than a gram the packaging rules allow them to lie and say No Calories, No Carbs. There are about 4 calories of sugar in a packer.

3) HFCS, did I mention the Corn is GMO and Monsanto sat on research showing that it's carcenogenic? Yet canada is still growing it for internal use. Europeans have banned the GM crops. I don't need to explain the extra negative impacts of massive fructose consumption.

3) White Sugar, 90% of sugar beets in north america are Genetically Modified by Monsanto to be RoundUp resistant. This wouldn't bug me so much if the Corn and the Cotton weren't turning out to be toxic.

.... I'm not much of a sugar guy but I'm going to miss splenda in my coffee.
