Never drink diet soda. The new product unlabled is Senomyx which will only be labeled as an artificial flavor or flavor enhancer is created by drug technologies and nano technologies. It has been given the label of GRAS (generally recognized as safe), so it won’t be labeled like Aspartame (AminoSweet). By receiving the GRAS status given to them by their very own trade association, Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association (FEMA) they are not required to submit to any rigorous FDA testing on this drug that “fools” the tongue so that you perceive that you are eating sugar, but you are not.
Senomyx is made of such small scale materials that it can fit under the 5% organic standards rule.
Kraft foods who owns organic companies saw to it a few years ago that Congress would change a court ruling that supported only natural ingredients in the organic certified processed products.
Now because of Kraft lobbyist “synthetic” ingredients are allowed in certified organic processed foods under the 5% rule. Kraft is krafty..I bet they plan on a line of dietetic organic food and drinks that will not have to be labeled because it is under 5%.
