I got a healthy sugar that tastes good: fresh fruit.
I was a kid once, too young to know better, and liked sweet. Now nothing beats fresh fruit. Even many vegetables are sweet. This stuff sounds like engineered garbage and I will bet anyone that we will uncover serious health concerns from it.

For humans, monellin is 100,000 times sweeter than sucrose on a molar basis and around 3,000 times on a weight basis."
