Stevia just tastes much sweeter than sugar so you'd be fooling your body again. It is looking for the effect of something that is sweet. And an artificial sweetener doesn't actually have the effect on the body it is looking for. Artificial sweeteners don't satisfy that. It is probably better to just use products with cane sugar or turbinado sugar and just keep use at a minimum. Sometimes fruit will take care of the need but this is a much misunderstood area though ayurveda had it figured out centuries ago.
