Guest guest Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 Hi Bill,that is a GREAT idea about the dates, thanks! I do use Agave (Love it)but it is kind of expensive so I use it sparingly. I put greens along with fruit in my son's morning smoothie and I have to make it more sweet so he will drink it and so I add Stevia. I used to add it to tea or coffee as well but I am weaning myself off those =) It is really good in coffee and tea by the way....no sugar grams or calories, not that I care about calories now but some do! rawfood , Bill-Schoolcraft <Bill wrote: > > At Wed, 26 Sep 2007 it looks like traciekatt composed: > > > Is Stevia toxic to the body?
