Hi,
 
I am new to the list and thougth I would give some feedback on Stevia. It is 
from a perennial plant in Central and South America, part of the chrysanthemum 
family. It goes back to the 1880's. Used for a long time to sweeten their 
drinks.
 Today it is grown and harvested around the world. Don't use too much as I 
agree with Harold, it does have an after-taste.
 
Are you looking for an alternative sweetener, low in calories? Agave nectar 
isn't sugar or calorie free, but it's natural. The taste doesn't leave an 
after-taste.
