Guest guest Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Zoe et al I live in Canada and have used stevia since 1988. It was not banned here, for some reason. And it certainly has never given my any problems at all. In fact, since using it, I use less sweetener then I did before. As for the taste of stevia; I have been told that not all stevia tastes the same. The poorer quality ones can taste lousy. However in my experiance using too much also effects the taste adversely regardless whether it is stevia or real sugar. Maybe I just don't like the a very very sweet taste though too. blessings Shan Posted by: " zoe W " ilovegrafix ilovegrafix Mon Apr 9, 2007 11:43 pm (PST) I was introduced to stevia just prior to it being banned by the FDA in the early 90's, I bought a pound of the dried herb during the ban that was marked not for internal use, that carried me thru the 4 yrs of the ban. When it was finally released back on the market it was only as a supplement and not as an additive. Formerly Celestial Seasonings and a few others were using stevia to sweeten their teas. I have used stevia all this time and still love it. I both grow my own plants as well as buy the liquid stevia from SweetLeaf I use it in places one would normally use sugar. It does not affect my blood sugar, does not cause the " crashing " you get from sugar and it doesn't rot your teeth. Need I say more. I personally love the taste, but some apparently don't care for it. zoe W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
