Guest guest Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Web Cam of Dr. Ed Zimmey's discourse on the pros and cons of Pomgranite and other anti-oxidents. http://tinyurl.com/crgu3a __________________________________ The Scoop on Sweeteners: Sweeteners from stevia. PureVia and Truvia are both made from an extract of the stevia plant. Stevia has been consumed for centuries in South America but until recently could be marketed in the U.S. only as a dietary supplement. It was relegated to health-food stores and vitamin shops, where it was sold as a stand-alone sugar substitute. Now that the FDA has approved its use in food, it's only a matter of time before stevia shows up in cookies, cake, candy, and beverages. Stevia extracts are up to 300 times sweeter than table sugar. They lack some of sugar's physical characteristics, so keep this in mind before you dump a boatload into your coffee or tea. Truvia and PureVia " cut " their products with erythritol, so it's a lot less sweet than pure stevia. Other brands use more concentrated stevia. Recipe and conversion charts can be found online.
