In response to my blog post about stevia Yanach, who is diabetic, wrote in to share some information about using stevia…

Thanks for the article. I am a diabetic (type 2) and have been using Stevia since 1998.

When you use Stevia in drinks or on food you don’t need a lot, not even one whole packet. It is very sweet, and can taste bitter if you use too much.

I have a real problem with the FDA. Approving such products as Splenda (which has Chlorine), Aspartane, (which gave me headaches)Sucaryl and Saccharin. These products are poisoning our bodies.

I have told all friends and family about stevia and they love it. You can find stevia at Kroger (some not all)stores as well as Whole Foods.

I think people should  stop buying sugar and artificial sweeteners then corporations would have to use natural products like stevia.

Informative articles like yours that educate the public are a step in the right direction
