The problem is that when any sweetener is consumed it sets up the craving for
more sweet. I am not sure if this is true of stevia or any of the newer
sweeteners, but it is true of all others, sugar, honey, nolasses, etc..

Apparently even the taste of sweetness is enough to make the body think it is
sugar and react accordingly. If you shouldn't have sugar, don't have the
substitutes. Learn to taste food as it really tastes without sweetening.
Strikes me that sugar does less harm than the chemical substitutes, anyway.
But give it up or absolutely minimise it.
I wonder whether a little date syrup or molasses every now and then would
satisfy the sweet yearning.
