Guest guest Posted November 2, 1999 Report Share Posted November 2, 1999 -- There's something wrong with your math, hon. Using your equation (100 pounds for the first 5 feet, then 10 pounds for each additional inch), a woman who was 5 feet ten inches should weigh 200 pounds. (100 pounds for the first 5 feet + 100 {10 pounds x 10 inches} ). That seems a bit heavy even for the most esque times. Maybe you meant 5 pounds for each additional inch? That would put the weight for a 5' 10 " person at 150 pounds.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 1999 Report Share Posted November 2, 1999 Zoe, It is illegal to sell it as an artificial sweetner, it is legal to sell it as a supplement!! I have no idea why.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 1999 Report Share Posted November 2, 1999 In my opinion, 125 pounds at 5'10 " *does* look like Twiggy! I'm 5'10 " and there was a period of time in the '60s when, through doing drugs and not eating or taking care of myself, when I weighed 120 pounds and boy, was I skinny! my ribs were showing and I looked anorexic.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 1999 Report Share Posted November 2, 1999 stevia couldn't possibly be illegal in the U.S. - all the health food stores carry it.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 1999 Report Share Posted November 2, 1999 Penny -- The " why " part is easy -- because if you sell it as a supplement, it doesn't have to pass through FDA hoops.
