,

while the stevia may not contain illegals it is an illegal itself. Only saccharin (yuck, by the way) and honey are legal sweeteners. ;(

Hi Everyone,I think my questions have calmed down for now, and thanks, all of you, who have been so caring and helpful in answering things for me.Now perhaps I can contribute a little bit. I am slowly looking into various products and here are the results so far:REAL SALT -- I have used this for years, and had in the cupboard a jaw of their "organic natural season salt", containing, if my old eyes (I have no glasses that work these days, long story) reads it right:real salt, organic onion, organic coriander, organic spices, organic mustard, organic black pepper, organic paprika, organic herbs, contains no MSG. I called them. They said there is nothing else in any of their products than the ingredients listed on the label, not in this or anything else. I specifically explained about our problem wiht hidden sugars and starches, etc. She said, none.STEVIA,I mostly use KAL

which I have seen is legal but I also have a pound jar of stevia extract from NOW. I contacted them this morning and this is the reply:Hello , We do not add anything else. It is 100% pure stevia powder. Thank you for your inquiry,NOW FOODS NUTRITIONISTNUTRITION & SCIENCEPure Encapsulations:This brand is what I have been using for my vitamin D3. I called them to ask about other ingredients and he said they mean what they say, "pure encapsulations", that there is nothing else in their capsules, ever. They don't seem to have any fillers at all. I don't know what all else they may make but I'm going to be looking there as well as Freeda (where I've gotten my B-complex for ages and ages) for other

things.That's it for now,

Elaine did not recommend stevia for several reasons. However, she allowed

that tiny amounts could be used from time to time is saccharin and/or

honey could not be tolerated.

However, as always, if using something like the KAL stevia, and you do

not see the progress you hope for from SCD, be prepared to yank it for

awhile.
