I believe this German sweetener is BANNED in the United States (yet somehow available on Amazon). Should I purchase it and taste the secret sweet?

I'd personally like to know *why* it was banned in the first place, but it's probably something trivial in the "ppm" range or having to do with export licenses. I'd say try, but it just might not arrive.

SPOILER ALERT: I'm debating whether to frame the piece around the forbidden tablet or the failure of Diet Rite (Cyclamates are the culprit).

Aha, those dastardly Cyclamates!! I KNEW it! ::furiously Googles what Cyclamates are::

Gotta love science from the 60's! Data repudiated 40 years later, and it's STILL holding strong in our government!

It’s frei of laktose so why not?

Ahhh, cyclamate. Because the U.S. is clearly "winning" at health and safety compared to everyone else. Compare and contrast saccharin, acesulfame K.
