Stevia

Who is having 5 packets of splenda???

I've been having my morning coffee plain with some nondairy powdered milk

But the Black tea needs the stevia

She's talkin' bout me......

you guys are f'in sugar addicts...putting up to 5 packets of splenda into your morning coffee and stuff Just eat fruit. your pancreas recognizes the sweetness anyway. you'll eventually get the insulin spike anyway. stevia = gi/gl of 0 while artif. sweeten. = gi of 80. There are certain versions of stevia (white powder) that are MUCH sweeter than say the pre-packaged packets for tea. those aren't as strong. stevia varies in strength, you simply have to know what to buy. if you visit the stevia website they will tell you......

Don't you know it's the American way to be addicted to High Fructose Corn Syrup?? It was the innovation of the early 70's when I was a very small child........ us little kids were given sugar water to keep us quiet...... oh, you were born yet.......

I too like Stevia, but have a question. I have a white stevia powder by NuNaturals and for 1/2 teaspoon, no cal, 1 Carb. per serving. I don't use alot but couldn't you rack up some unnessary carbs?

That one gram of carb from the stevia is fiber carb, since stevia comes from a green leaf
unless your brand "NuNaturals" is processed stevia and have added things
