Stevia…Natures other sweetener!

Stevia, for those of you who do not know, is an herb that has been used for centuries in other countries as a form of natural sweetener. This form of sweetener can be up to 300 times sweeter than sugar and should be used sparingly. It is important to note that it has its own distinct flavor and takes some getting used to as with many of the “artificial sweeteners”. Some say it has a hint of licorice flavor. I personally have used it for years. As with artificial sweeteners, this natural sugar substitute does not affect blood sugar levels, so it is safe for use by diabetes patients. This is God’s natural sugar substitute.
