A June 30, 2005 column by Ross Mackenzie mentions a piece on Splenda by ACSH president Dr. Elizabeth Whelan:
And speaking of raising cane, the sugar lobby is unlimbering its biggest guns against the new sweetener Splenda -- so popular it soon may leave sugar-substitutes Equal and NutraSweet as mere dregs in yesterday's coffee. The lobby vehemently disputes Splenda's claim to be made from sugar. Notes Dr. Elizabeth Whelan, of the American Council on Science and Health, "The reality is that Splenda does have its distant origins in sugar." It's enough to make one wonder why the sugar lobby would oppose a sugar-derived product -- but never mind.
