I found another site with some info on Stevia...check it out!

Bodybuilding.com - Stevia Information and Product Listing! Stevia FAQ!

"Stevia is able to perform a number of other beneficial tasks. For example, it has been shown that Stevia may enhance moods and increase energy levels and mental alertness."

"The cosmetic industry also employs the use of Stevia in many of the available skin care products. It has been shown to reduce the appearance of skin blemishes when applied topically."

My dad works at a hospital and is constantly warning me and my sister about our soda habits and we need to lay off the artificial sweeteners. Every year my resolution is to give up soda, but I always end up going back to it. I'm slowly replacing soda with tea though.

Stevia is a safe alternative, albeit expensive, and is available in stores like Whole Foods.....Trader Joe's and helath food stores. I have not read anything negative about this product, but it is a good idea to retrain the palette to crave less sweet foods and appreciate natural tasting foods as close to nature as they grow (the less we do to something, the better)
