FDA corruption

Did the Sweetener lobby kill off a competitor in 1974 ?

The BBC story below on a "Miracle Berry" alternative to artificial
sweeteners seems to provide anecdotal evidence that the FDA, which in
1974 didn't allow the berry to be introduced into food, is in bed with
big business. It seems that it is prepared to be used to kill off new
competitors, and then refuse to disclose its reasoning even after a
Freedom of Information request.
