Guest guest Posted January 9, 2003 Report Share Posted January 9, 2003 I'm very behind on my emails for this group, so I am not sure if this has been mentioned yet or not... but my boyfriend has started using the herb Stevia and really likes it. There is no biochemical processing to my knowledge and it is a naturally occuring compound in the herb. It is sold in my tiny little health food store in liquid and powder form and is a lot sweeter than sugar. It only tastes sweet, it has no calories and is supposed to be good for diabetics. You can cook with it even. The only thing I didn't like about it was that in liquid form, it is dark and rather thick, but in tea it wouldn't matter. A friend of mine grows the plant in a pot in his house. It's been used by the Chinese for a LONG time... worth a shot! Genie New DSL Internet Access from SBC & http://sbc.
