    i think it works the same way as sugar, minus the calorie, plus the nutirents of a fruit

    i think its banned in the US tho, cause the sugar companies pressured the FDA to outlaw it otherwise it'll bring them outa business

    The way its said in Wikipedia, I don't think it works like sugar. The berry is supposed to numb or whatever your taste buds which would make what you eat later sweeter than what it normally would be. Thus, people who use this berry or the tablets would be more likely to consume less sugar.

    ^ If that's true, it's a good way to make people eat less sugar -----> less obesity!
