Dear Ms. Blank:

I have reviewed Dr. Kinghorn’s report on the safety of Stevia and I find this to be a truly excellent and professional article by a well-regarded expert in the area. The review is nicely arranged and appropriately critical, and I appreciate the clear statement of summary and conclusions at the beginning.

Certainly, on the basis of the evidence marshalled and reviewed in this article, there seems little scientific reason for the FDA not to approve the use of Stevia extracts in the United States.

Sincerely,
