Artificial sweeteners are often bad news in terms of your health. Take aspartame, an artificial sweetener#comment-5279 Here's another Australian supporting stevia. I have grown this herb in a pot and it's great to just chew on a leaf when you want a sweet fix. Here’s another Australian supporting stevia.

Take aspartame, an artificial sweetener#comment-1479 You say "Erithrytol isn’t a new ingredient, and as such doesn’t need to be treated with the suspicion new and novel untested ingredients often deserve. We’ve been eating erithrytol in mushrooms and cheeses for centuries. It has 0.2 calories per gram (which is pretty much the same as 0 calories), and actually helps prevent tooth decay as the bugs in your mouth can’t eat it. " and that is good news. It seems a lot of work to go to when stevia powder has been available for thousands of years in Paraguay and other South American countries. I can buy it in Australia from the internet, and I'm sure it would be available in other countries too. It is about ten times as sweet as sugar, and has a pleasant herbal flavor. The cocoa in chocolate has got a reputation for chocolate being good for you, but chocolate is mostly cocoa-flavored sugar. I make a hot drink with two heaped teaspoons of cocoa powder and a quarter of a teaspoon stevia powder. Yes - I know that is unbearably sweet for most people but I like it and the drink makes me feel good, and staves off hunger for a couple of hours until meal time.

Its a rain forest plant and is not only many (apparently hundreds) of times sweeter than sugar it also has no insulin response in the body at all. In fact it is used theraputically with diatbetes sufferers because of these qualities. It is also cheap and widely available, at least in Australia, from health food stores. I did hear talk of a sugar lobby trying to get it banned in the US under the idea that as it is being used theriputically and is untested as a medicine - obviously the real reason is that it threatens their business.

I hate to say goodbye to Diet Coke but I will have to :( I love Organic Zero. I emailed WS and asked for a sample. They sent about 6 or 7 packets. It really does feel like regular sugar. I've only used it in my coffee and oatmeal, but it does the job quite well. It is not available locally though :( Holy crap!!!! NutraSweet is made by Monsanto?!?!?!

If a person likes how something tastes, the tastebuds often dominate the reason switches. Weird that the tongue would over-ride the brain, eh?
