That is pretty interesting. The rise in heart disease in the US coincided nicely with the conversion from cane sugar to corn sweetener for most processed foods - I wonder if there is a relation?
Sounds great, but this stuff is made from sugar cane. Don't think Cuba has an interest in promoting production of sugar do you? Need confirmation of this from an "unbiased" sourced. Till this occurs I will just assume that Fidel is attempting to increase sugar exports.
