You have to watch Stevia brands. They add stuff to it. And it'll say on the box or whatever; That they do it on recommendation of the FDA of some such bologna. A lost of times they use the "tols" which have a sky high glycemic index. The only Stevia I have found that does not add anything to their Stevia except fiber is Sweetleaf Brand. Every single other company adds stuff. And I can't figure out why. Stevia is already sweet. Why are they adding another sugar to it, one that's worse than table sugar for your glucose levels? It doesn't make any sense, especially if it's only allowed as a supplement.

Try stevia. You can make your own tinctures from organic stevia leaf powder
or try the extracts available at your local organic food store.

Has anyone tried erythritol as a calorie free sweetener? Looks
interesting, expecially since it is not artificial, but a naturally
occurring  sweetner.

Marshall,
I don't think there's any "free ride" with sweeteners. Dr. Jerry Tennant
says to avoid all sweeteners with "tol" in them, and I tend to agree with
him. They are toxic to the body.

I do use xylitol, however, as a mouthwash.
