Stevia: This Sugar Substitute Is Sweet and Healthy
Stevia is a really good substitute for sugar. I like it a lot, however, I must admit that I did not know all of the health benefits that Stevia can bring. This article touches on a few studies that were done on patients with diabetes and high blood pressure. The patients had lowered their blood pressure and sugar levels-- a sweet effect. There is also a couple of great recipes in the article too and with the holidays coming up, one could use these.
Stay fabulous!
Love and friendship,
Kimberley

I have been using SweetLeaf Sweetener stevia, but finally baked with it for the first time in chocolate chip cookies, and it was great!
You sound like you might be using stevia--what brand do you use and why?
I've used SweetLeaf too-- it's the only brand available around these parts. I'm glad to know that it's great to bake with. I've only used organic sugar and turbinado to bake with so I'm glad that the stevia works well too. I can't wait to try it.
I've been using Splenda, and so far no bad effects. But I would like to try Stevia based on all the comments I've heard about it. Thanks for the info!
