Guest guest Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Stevia is a natural sweetner that doesn't increase blood sugars, cravings for sugars or have noted side effects. It is very safe for diabetics to take in place of artificial and sugar sweetners. 1/8 of a teaspoon is the equivelant of 1 TBS of refined sugar! Aspartame though it may not be made as formaldehyde is changed into formaldehyde in the body! AutoImmune Disorders are now showing up more and more in people who ingest Aspartame/Nutrasweet. More prevalence of Depression and ADD/ADHD are showing up also. And schools are allowing this as a replacement to sugared sodas in the schools! This substance is IMO more addictive than smoking! And Splenda is worse! Splenda is known to create addictions and cravings for more sugar! It's made from sugar. I'm seeing more and more clients that come in with Aspartame Toxicity and reactions to that energy pattern! It's hidden in foods and medications. Clients who swear they don't drink diet sodas etc. Jenny Kernan Quantum Biofeedback Therapist --- JAW <weinja wrote: > Aspartame is not a nutritional supplement.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 And why is stevia considered so " dangerous " that the FDA won't approve it for use as a sweetener, even with its long, safe history? Because the makers of the PATENTED chemical sweeteners don't want it to be approved... I remember way back when I doubted all these stories of corruption and greed -- The Government Agencies are there to protect us! Why would somebody put a product out there that was harmful?! Actually, it wasn't clear thoughts like that, just vague notions that I'd accepted. Well, I'm much more cynical and clear-eyed now. Most people will do plenty of dastardly deeds to get/keep Money and Power (and of course that includes the people who make up any government). Joy , " cathleensp " <cathleen wrote: > > Amen, Jenny.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Stevia is 300 times sweeter than sugar.. Only a small amount is needed to sweeten for instance- beverages..teas etc. It can leave an after taste if too much is used.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Actually the FDA isn't really a Federal Branch. They recieve little or no Federal Funding. They are funded mostly by corporations. So treat anything the FDA says with skepticism. , " jmr1290 " <jomarex wrote: > > And why is stevia considered so " dangerous " that the FDA won't approve > it for use as a sweetener, even with its long, safe history?

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 I have to agree with this! Stevia is one of the best things I've ever discovered! After I started using it instead of artificial sweeteners, my skin became healthier and clearer and I feel healthier overall. I'm sure the makers of chemical sweeteners don't want people to know that. , " jmr1290 " <jomarex wrote: > > And why is stevia considered so " dangerous " that the FDA won't approve > it for use as a sweetener, even with its long, safe history?

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 I believe that we all have experiences that provide the basis for our own " truth " . In that spirit, I would like to offer the following: My husband smoked cigarettes for 40 years and only had ill effects from it during the last year or so. He is still alive because he quit, but it is possible for someone to smoke for their entire life and die in a car accident when they are 90 years old. I really feel that there were no bad effects as long as he had a wonderful, interesting life and only when he was miserable from his disability in his hip was he susceptible to the ill effects from the cigarettes. At this time, we are 8 years off cigarettes and very healthy. My husband used aspartame all day long in coffee. After about a year, we noticed that he had tremors in his head, and his physical pain was excruciating. As soon as we heard about the reports on its negative effects, we stopped using it. That was at least 6 or 7 years ago. About 3 months after stopping, the tremors greatly reduced. He still has them sometimes, but controls them through deep breathing. I think that the sharp rise in Parkinson's disease is partially due to the ill effects of aspartame. I wish others could control theirs also without drugs and by meditation and breathing. On Stevia: After we stopped using aspartame, we found Stevia extract. Of course, we used it every day for years and had no adverse effects that we knew of except increased cravings for sugary sweets. We stopped using it about 6 months ago, and started using fructose and organic cane sugar (a lot like Turbinado). At first we really missed it and craved the taste of it. It was tough for at least 3 months, because nothing seemed to taste right without it. Now we will never go back, we have no cravings for it, and our cravings for sweets have gone down to a reasonable level. One last note: Table sugar starts out as a " natural " sweetener, just like Stevia. But you know the difference between cane sugar from a cane plant and powdered sugar from the store. Coca leaves are chewed by people in South America with no known ill effects, but cocaine is derived from extracting the drug from the leaves and " distilling " it, in a way like getting powdered sugar from a cane plant. I have no argument for people using anything, but I offer my experiences here for your perusal. Live long and prosper.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Most health food stores carry it. Be careful of the ones that contain Maltodextrine as that can cause problems.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Stevia comes in 2 colors. Green is unbleached and does not dissolve. White is bleached and dissolves. Green can be used in baking and is very sweet. White is less sweet. You can also get Stevia in liquid form..which is very sweet. It does leave an after taste if you get too much. Sweet Leaf brand comes in flavors such as orange, lemon etc in addition to regular. I use 1/2 packet in a tall glass of iced tea and it is very sweet. 1/8 teaspoon is the equivelant of 1 tablespoon sugar or more. I don't know anything about the plant or how to use it. KAL and Sweet Leaf are some of the best. Jenny Kernan --- " Marti H.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 The plant is easy to grow and it clones well. Here in the North it is a tender perennial. I take it inside before the frost and it survives, though just barely. It is much happier outdoors than inside. I have just clipped it back to start some clones. It will come back up from the root once it is well established, even if it looks half dead. Stevia does not like getting too dry, and it thrives on being clipped back. You can nibble the leaves straight from the plant for a sweet treat! Mike Adams at http://newstarget.com has a cheap bulk source in his " seven secrets " free e-book.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 If it is anything like splenda that is supposed to be an all natural sweetener, it is soaked in hydrochloric acid to bleach it out. Now I'm not bashing splenda, because it is the only artificial sweetener that doesn't give me migraines, and I wish more beverage companies would switch to using it. I just want to say in the big picture of things, what does all natural really mean? Arsenic is all natural and it will kill you deader than dead! Just a thought!
