Holy Crap - Splenda.. UNBELIEVABLE

[BrazenBlond]

Stevia itself is not a problem. Stevia is a plant. I grow it during the summer. The granulated version is mixed with various things that I can't vouch for, but the actual Stevia is alright.

Like everyone else says, eventually we will get to the truth. Until then, what other alternatives do we have?

The alternative is to be as informed as possible, scrutinize the source, weigh the risks and benefits, then make a decision that you can live with.

I meant sugar alternatives, but that works too.

It also applies to sugar alternatives because there are so many now on the market---each on touting their "health benefits", their "low glycemic index" and "minimal effect on blood sugar", their "natural ingredients", etc. In other words, everyone wants your money.

So really read up on these and make an informed decision.

I also read a frightening article on Splenda, but............that won't stop me from drinking my treat of flavored water sweetened with it.
