Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Hi Lynn, I just ordered some myself. I believe it is probably the best sweetener for diabetics - at least for certain things you want to sweeten. The liquid version actually lowers blood sugars (or is said to). They all taste a bit different as well so it pays to research and try different ones, look at the different brands and the ingredients etc as they have a lot of them out there! You only need a teeny tiny bit to sweeten as it is much much more sweet than sugar or splenda. I'll let you know how I like the one I ordered!

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Hi Lynn, Here is the page I ordered from - (still had it open). If the link doesn't work, it is at www.iherb.com and they had the best prices. Lots to choose from! This seems to be a great site for supplements too. http://search.store.yahoo.com/cgi-bin/nsearch?catalog=iherb & query=stevia & .autodo\ ne=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.iherb.com%2Fnsearch.html Re: Stevia In a message dated 1/3/2006 7:08:53 PM Central Standard Time, skemp4@... writes: I'll let you know how I like the one I ordered!

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 I think I might be the only one who doesn't like Stevia. I used it only in liquid form but I quickly threw it out. It didn't taste good and something in the mix gave me a bad headache. Shandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 I had to look it up but it was the NOW brand of liquid Stevia. I threw out the bottle but maybe there is a label print out online. I want to say they added some kind of alcohol to it. Shandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Hi Shandi, Thanks - that helps. NOW brand does have an alcohol added version - they also have a non-alcohol version (says no bitter aftertaste). I almost bought the NOW brand but got a different one, can't remember which now, but it is good to know the brands that don't taste good. I knew I didn't want one with alcohol added. Perhaps if you tried the non-alcohol one it would taste better! Sandy Re: Re: Stevia I had to look it up but it was the NOW brand of liquid Stevia.
