[QUOTE="Charles Robin, post: 859115, member: 92241"] Stevia is a great ingredient, but finding 'proper' Stevia is a challenge. I buy Nature's Garden Stevia from Holland and Barrett. It has a small amount or inulin (not insulin, inulin is something else) but it is predominantly Stevia. You often find that Stevia has been mixed with xylitol or maltodextrin in a lot of products. Those are fancy words for a substance known as 'sugar.' Your blood sugars will probably react accordingly. Stevia has no effect on my blood sugars and I bake with it all the time. However, as it is soooo much sweeter than sugar, you only need small amounts. Think of it like vanilla extract. Use it in something in a small quantity and it's wonderful. Use loads or eat a spoonful of it on its own and you will wish your tongue would detach itself and run for the hills. [/QUOTE]
