Default Re: The Scoop On Stevia

I have been wondering about the use of Agave nector. It is said that it does not raise glucose levels, but I think it might be a "your milage may vary" kind of thing. I was given a bottle of it about a year ago, before I was always testing my BG and I used it and really liked it, but have not bought any of it for myself. I tried Truvia and at first I thought it was OK, but after a few times using it, I began to hate the way it smells! It can smell up the whole kitchen, and is a sickly sweet smell, that started grossing me out. Splenda has it's nay-sayers as well, but recently, I have turned back to it for that bit of sweetness that I like. Anyone know anything about the nectar??? A discussion of that might shed some light!
