stevia plants for sale, So it takes only a small amount of an artificial sweetener to sweeten foods. That's why foods made with artificial sweeteners often have fewer calories than those made with sugar. Artificial sweeteners don't affect blood sugar. Why can't I find Stevia in food markets and grocery stores? I'm talking about pure Stevia that's not mixed with sugar or sugar substitutes.
stevia plants for sale, All I see is Stevia in the Raw, which is mixed with Dextrose. I also see Truvia, which is a mix of erythritrol and Rebiana. Does anyone use Truvia in lieu... Could someone please tell me which is safe to use Splenda or Stevia. Everything I have read says that splenda is not safe and causes cancer and lots of other problems and Stevia is a safe product. I'm confused please help!
Ok. I don't use splenda, I will use stevia. I can see that 1 cup of splenda = 3/4 to 1 tsp stevia. However, I don't get what I should use to fluff out my stevia.
