Stevia

Stevia is a plant, not a chemical sugar substitute. I have a couple of the plants growing in containers at my house. The leaves are super-sweet. You can buy an extract made from stevia plants in liquid or powder form. Not all products are made equal. And even in its purest forms, I believe in moderation. Just because stevia is a plant and is a calorie-free sweetener does not mean it should go into everything you eat all day long. Our bodies require variety to be healthy.

As a starting point for your own reading, I recommend checking this article about stevia. It includes how to tell which products are the real thing and which have additives.
