Podcast "Empty Pleasures"

Driving on my usual weekly jaunt to Pine Bush, I am listening to National Radio's author interview for a recently released book on artificial and natural sweeteners (nutrasweet, stevia, saccharine) which makes for fascinating listening.

Carolyn De La Pena has written 'Empty Pleasures'; it's a history of artifical sweeteners from aspartame to saccharin (a byproduct of the coal industry by the way!).
