Stevia "Supplement"

This stuff is cool. My girlfriend got it for me. Its called Stevia and is a no calorie all natural sweetener. The wierd thing is nowhere on the package or literature does it say the word "sweetener". Thats because of the conspiracy! The nutrasweet and equal guys pay our politicians tons of money to make sure that Stevia (which has been used in Asia and Europe for a long time in place of the "deadly chemical sweeteners") does not get FDA approved as a sweetener. This keeps it out of candy, sodas, etc. But the clever folks market the stuff as a supplement which lets them sell it without breaking the law. I am testing 3 packets in my coffee. So far it tastes fine. I want to eat a little plain...

I have been using Stevia for years now and would never go back to the artificial sweetners that contain chemicals. They are so bad for you! Anyway, Stevia is great and it has so many uses. I use it in my baking recipes and then I can still treat myself to a treat now and then without the guilt.
