Stevia instead of Sugar

[Guest guest]

I've seen a lot of posts lately about white sugar. Have any of you

ever tried Stevia? I switch to this natural sugar substitute 5 years

ago and it really makes a difference! Stevia does not raise blood

sugar levels and contains only about 1 calorie and no carbs. It's

about 100 times sweeter than sugar - extremely concentrated! Stevia

is actually an herb that has been cultivated and used all of over

the world, but is not well recognized in the USA.

The liquid form is perfect to use in tea, coffee or cold drinks. It

only takes 2 drops to sweeten a drink! The powdered form can be used

in baking, but substitutions are a little tricky. You can buy Stevia

online or at any natural grocer.

Here a few websites for more info:
