I've used Stevia liq. for years and really like it.  I've tried three 
different kinds, two from a local health food store and one I order from out 
of state, herbal site.  I prefer the ordered version as the two brands I find 
in the local health food store  leave an herbal aftertaste.  Stevia does not 
affect the blood sugar levels so it is great for diabetics.
