A federal jury begins deliberating today in a false-advertising case that could transform the market for sugar substitutes. It's the Equal vs. Splenda case, or, as it's officially known, Merisant Co. v. McNeil Nutritionals . If Equal gets its way, Splenda will have to abandon its slogan that says the product is "made from sugar so it tastes like sugar" and could be hit with a verdict of more than $200 million. The Equal team already has some reason to celebrate with news of a court victory in France.
