[net.med] More on Equal

Thanks to John for expanding on some of my information in my last article.
It appears that the ingredients of Equal tablets (given in the aforementioned
articles) differ from those of Equal packets. The latter contain 
	"Dextrose with dried corn syrup, aspartame, silicon dioxide,
	microcrystalline cellulose, tribasic calcium phosphate, and
	cellulose gum"

Beats me why they feel the need to put sand in it! :-)

	"...beats me why they feel they need to put sand in it."

They do the silicon dioxide thing fairly often; it guarantees a free-flowing
product.  Tasty thought, eh?
