Can anyone post the Daily Mail passage?

Which came first? Equity Development today, also put out a 19pp research report on PURE. i don't believe in coincidences. I warrant that the Daily Mail got an advance copy. Equity are quite open about circulating their reports. I believe that one can just register to get a copy. I did, some two years ago and get all their reports automatically. Strongly recommended

Tipped in Trendwatch last Thursday. Very positive :)

EFSA (European Food Safety Association) has issued a positive scientific opinion on the use of Stevia as a sweetener. Should help the share price tomorrow.

Nice RNS yesterday - good evidence that many new stevia products are coming on line before the Q3 window that I was personally expecting. share price seems to have responded too. Hopefully we can break into a new trading range with support at 250.

If you take note of the rapid increase in serious obesity,and observe what a disgraceful proportion of the population are crippled by this self -infliction, you might come to believe that the substitution of stevia for sugar in commercial products is one of the most important contributions ever to be made to general health and the consequent quality of life.

IMO it is arguable that the damage done by excessive sugar rivals that done by nicotine and alcohol. From the investment point of view it is relevant that compared with the withdrawal symptons from the latter, few consumers will show resistance to the introduction of stevia.

The take up should be universal, and explosive - once the Authorities wake up to the potential reduction in the cost of health and set about distributing the facts.

PURECIRCLE LIMITED

("PureCircle" or "the Company")

Stevia-based product launches increase in 2010

PureCircle (LSE: PURE), the world's leading producer of Natural High Intensity Sweeteners, including Reb A, is pleased to provide this update on the latest developments in the global stevia market.

Stevia usage is expanding into a broadening range of applications worldwide. According to Mintel more than 60 new products containing stevia ingredients have been launched in the first two months of 2010, an increase of 36 per cent over the same period in 2009 with the beverage category up more than 140 per cent. With the support of major food and beverage companies around the world, stevia is continuing to gain awareness and share within the market place.

Following Pepsi's successful launches and expansion of SobeLifewater® 0 calorie and Tropicana's Trop 50, the Pepsi Lipton Tea Partnership has added another major brand to the list of stevia sweetened products. In February the joint venture launched Lipton Iced Tea Lemon and Green Tea Peach Mango. The products are 100 per cent natural, with no artificial flavours, artificial colours or preservatives.

The successful delivery of beverages using Reb A has led to its introduction into new categories. In the US new products in Unilever's Wish-Bone® salad dressing range include stevia Reb A as ingredient. These new products are available in such varieties as Italian and Red Wine Vinaigrette. In Australia a leading food retailer, Coles, has launched new, lighter buns made using high purity Reb A with sugar. 'Living Lighter Hot Cross Buns' contain 25 per cent fewer calories than standard Coles Fruit Hot Cross buns while delivering the same taste.

Tabletop is another category experiencing the global momentum of stevia. Heavy USA marketing spend by stevia tabletop brands estimated in excess of $57m in media over the past twelve months has helped continue the advance of stevia's market share in the low calorie sweetener category which in turn has led to the introduction of leading brands in new markets. PureVia™ tabletop brand, previously available in the United States, Australia and Mexico, has now expanded into France following the recent approval of the use of Reb A in the tabletop category. The expansion into France further demonstrates the growing global interest in stevia's all natural, great tasting, zero calorie sweetness.

BUY reccomendation in this weeks IC, full page write up.

[spudders] 01/3/2010 18:36

Its worth having a look at Imperial's website. There is no packaging details for Stevia as far as I can see, will be interesting to watch the progress on this venture.

[haroldthegreat] 01/3/2010 16:57

1P PER DAY GETS US UP TO 299 IN 2 MONTHS CANT SEE WHY ITS NOT HIGHER THE BENEFITS ARE OBVIOUS IN TODAYS SOCIETY.

[troc1958] 22/2/2010 10:33

Great news. This company has explosive growth potential, especially in the US. Any product that will help a person to loss weight yet satisfy their sweet tooth is worth investing in!

This JV should make huge inroads into the market share of other zero calorie producers e.g of Aspartame etc., which are not classified as "natural".

I note that analysts estimate a 2011 PEG of 0.05 - thus massive estimated growth in EPS expected. When EU approval is obtained (hopefully end of this year)I dont see why Pure's share price will not double over next two years.

This is the link to the article mentioned by spudders. Good luck to all who are holding this share.

[spudders] 14/2/2010 21:46

Good article in todays Independant. Looks like a tie in with a major sugar manufacturer is on the cards also a possibility of moving to main market by end of year. :))

[yf23_1] 08/2/2010 17:43

Looks like an order being filled - plenty of sells with a stable price.

[hannahh] 08/2/2010 16:20

A good report on Pure Circle was done by Equity Development not to long ago......have a look:

[hannahh] 08/2/2010 16:05

Equity Development have done a free report on Pure Circle....I think it gives you an overall picture of the company....check it out:

[spudders] 30/1/2010 17:31

Has anyone tried a product containing reb-a. Imo the share price should start to pick up, surely not all this good news is already in the price.

[n1blet] 29/1/2010 09:57

Forecasts must be a little difficult, given the scale of what is happening, but looking good:

t/o june10 £80m was £71m a month and 6mnths ago.
t/o june11 £157m was £138m a week ago.

clearly some upgrading going on.

Equityresearch, doesn't seem to have tried to pin No's down but full of cheerful waffle, Mrs Obama grows veg & uses Stevia, stuff like that always has me in a panic, but it just might be OK in good old USA.

Huge pot going forward & professional nature of processing plant & brand building looks good.
