Guest guest Posted December 21, 2007 Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 We use it regularly and haven't any problems. I've always been under the impression it was safe...it's natural and usually recommened over all other sweeteners. If anyone has any bad info on it I would appreciate hearing it too Angie"r.englund" wrote: Do any of you use stevia to sweeten, I know it is SCD illegal, but I love the stuff and miss it, my kids used to drink so much more when I made them homemaid lemonade with it.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Stevia is safe. It’s natural and plant-based. I think the liquid tastes better than the powder. We use Sweet Leaf brand. www.sweetleaf.com They carry flavored liquid stevia. The Lemon Drop is excellent in tea and I like the Vanilla Crème for my coffee.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 The only negetive thing I heard about Stevia is that its molecular structure is similar to a steriod. Not all natural things, as we know are safe. Information I read came from the pecanbread website that is the SCD version for children with autism. There are people that know more about it on the pecanbread yahoo board that may be able to help you with the question of Stevia. RE: Stevia Stevia is safe. It’s natural and plant-based.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Stevia is highly recommended on the Body Ecology Diet, and there are many kids doing very well following it's principles. Check out this information on the body ecology website. http://www.bodyecology.com/stevia.php Take care, Jenn Stevia Do any of you use stevia to sweeten, I know it is SCD illegal, but I love the stuff and miss it, my kids used to drink so much more when I made them homemaid lemonade with it.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Sugar is bad for you. No one reacts good to our processed sugar. Again, it's the processing that makes it bad. If you can find raw organic sugar that would best. I like Stevia as well, but I did read on the diet list that Stan uses (Specific Carb. diet) that Stevia has the same structure as a steriod, so it is not recommended. I get so confused with all of the info, but I thought I would share. Let's keep learning. It's so difficult to toil through all of this miscellaneous data. I guess there isn't a one size fits all. Best of luck to you. I take Stevia, because I'd rather do that than the sugar.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Does anyone have any experience with stevia as a sweetner? I am having trouble getting my son to drink his rice milk (he can't have the almond milk - he has a tree nut allergy) - and thought I would try adding some stevia (with strawberry flavor) to it.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 I use it for my daughter. She has had no bad reaction to it. It beats sugar, xytiol (contains corn) agave has to much sugar in it. Just so she can have something once in awhile. Not on a daily bases.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 I hate stevia but only because it tastes *exactly* like artificial sweetener to me (like nutrasweet and equal). My son refuses it, too. I use xylitol. My son does not have a corn sensitivity but you can get xylitol from birch bark, not corn, if you need to do so. Jarrow makes xylitol from birch, I believe. Xylosweet, I'm pretty sure, is from corn.CherylI use it for my daughter. She has had no bad reaction to it. It beats sugar, xytiol (contains corn) agave has to much sugar in it.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 We use stevia for everything. Depending on what you use it for it make take some getting used to. It doesn't bother me, but my husband says it has an aftertaste. Kids have no problems with it.Meera Atkins wrote: Does anyone have any experience with stevia as a sweetner?

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Honey is good and also agave nectar for sweetening. We had to do away with the rice milk because of too many starches. Can't imagine not having nuts with all the issues.There are bean milks, seed milks and also potato milks but also too many starches in the potato. Another idea is I got my son to drink tea but some have soy in it. I do a decaf chai tea from celestial seasonings that is gluten free. Also I would do honey and lemon with water he loves it. I now have him drinking water with a tiny bit of cranberry juice in it. I dont mean watered down I mean almost all water you can barely taste it. His taste buds are strong.
