RE:What kind of drug is Stevia???

[Guest guest]

The Stevia PILL I am referring to is a product of the same plant - the

Stevia plant, but in a different form - hasn't been fiddled with to become

the sweetener, rather it is the leaf itself, compressed and shaped into

pills. Now that I'm off the road for at least a few weeks I am going to

give it a good try and see if taking it in pill form helps reduce the

craving for sweet things.

I don't know what to use to sweeten my nearly de-caf tea... aspartame

doesn't work for long in hot beverages and can't be used for cooking

anything that needs to be heated. The stuff in pink has a pretty strong

aftertaste for me.... And I guess they all have extenders in them that add

more to the carb count, too. *sigh*

Regards,
