Stevia

[Guest guest]

Hi,

Saw the post asking about Stevia. I've had it in my baby herb garden

now for about 4 years. It is safe, non-toxic and of course the FDA

won't approve something natural...GOD forbid the big business cancer

causing artificial sweetner companies have NOTHING to do with that!!!

I've NEVER had any bad effects from the Stevia. If taken in natural

form, it can have a slightly bitter aftertaste. There are processed

forms both liquid and powder where that is not the case.

I got my plant from Home Depot garden center. It's a product from

Viva Herbs.

I've been using Stevia for a few years now. I buy mine from Canada and get one that is very concentrated with no aftertaste and I love it. I bake marvelous muffins with it that are packed with all kinds of great food and little to no fat at all. So, they're very low fat, sugar free and yummy! Only 1/4 tsp of stevia sweetens a batch of 12. If anyone wants the recipe, email me. If you want to bake more things, there are great stevia cookbooks available as well. One note on that though, the book I have must use a different concentration because the recipe calls for 1.5 tsp which is way too much. I use the rule that 1/4 tsp is 1 cup of sugar and go from there. I use the drops for my coffee and tea too. Judy

I think I will give Stevia a try — I use sugar so infrequently but was hoping to see more of Stevia as a sugar substitute in soft drinks, hard candies, etc. since I don’t process sugar well and won’t use aspartame or sorbitol, or even the other one which I can’t think of that almost everyone uses.
