4.16.11 Randomly picked up a 1970's edition of the Guinness Book of World Records. Under "Sweetest Substance" the
Red Serendipity Berry from Nigeria is listed. Said to be somewhere between 1,800 or 5,600 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar). I immediately thought "perhaps a natural substitute for
HFCS?" Read
this research article if you have access. If not read more
here: "Because it's much sweeter than sucrose, this is an important substitute for cyclamate in diet food and beverage industries". Poor Red, its Wiki page is so
short.
