I dispute your "100 times the flavor" claim. Please tell me how you measure
flavor. (Are you counting flavonoids per gram?)

Now try adding a pinch of sugar to your homemade marinara sauce. It will be
BETTER. At least a SEXTILLION times better. ("Sextillion" is a funny word,
isn't it? Like a cotillion, only much, much less formal.)
