Stevia: The Healthy Sweetener


So we hear all these bad things about artificial sweeteners now-a-days. If you haven't, then click this link: http://www.ivanfraser.com/articles/health/aspartame.html
I believe anything artificial sweetener is bad for you.
But Stevia is a natural sweetener, 30 times sweeter than sugar, that is actually GOOD for you.
Sadly, the FDA won't allow companies to put Stevia in their products since the sugar industry would go out of business. People would freak out for a sweetener 30 times sweeter than sugar that is healthy. I'm not surprised the FDA says, "No way!"
But, you can buy Stevia in packets and extracts next to the sweeteners in the grocery stores.
It is really good too, I put it in my oatmeal every morning. :-)
