Guest guest Posted April 13, 2000 Report Share Posted April 13, 2000 HI , Here is a link about Stevia that prints a presentation that was made to the " Calorie Control Council " . If you don't want to read it the bottom line is there are no calories in Steviosides. http://www.holisticmed.com/sweet/stv-ej.txt0 HTH in Ames __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you'll have to eliminate the sugar from your stevia. :-) Dump what you have. Rice maltodextrin is not ok. You can buy pure stevia in either leaf, powder, or liquid form at any natural foods store. Personally, I like the drops. The brand I like best is Sweet Leaf and I buy the Stevia Clear. Wisdom also makes a good stevia. Muchos saludos, Jeanne OTS Here's the product info.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 The brand of Stevia I use is " Jaja Stevioside " that someone on this list recommended. It's got no icky additives. You can get it at: www.emperorsherbologist.com I admit I don't really like stevia, but this one tastes the best (or least worse, however you want to look at it) - T > > Hi I have so many question but i will try stick to the rules and go one > by one:)Ok In the candida diet sugar should be eleminated > completally,but stevia is ok to use.I am using stevia and My question > is about the other intigriends in it:In the pockets form which I use > the other intigriends are:RICE MALTODEXTRIN AND SILICA. > In the container powder form the other intigriends are:HONEY POWDER AND > INULIN. > aLSO in any stevia I have seen there is less than 1g of sugar and less > than 1g of carbohydrates.Could you explain those other intigriends in > the stevia and if they are ok to use and what about the sugar in it is > it still save to use it?Of course all the numbers are per serving size > which is one pocket or about half of tea spoon.Thank you. > P.S I just read your article about candida and it is a great start > point for poeple like Me who does not have any idea about it,so I want > to take you for your time and for your help.Thank you very much. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Hi and thank you for reply,I am pretty sure that Wisdom is the company which makes SWEAT LEAF.I am using sweat leaf also in the pockets in powder form,they intgredients are:inulin fiber(FOS),The one I was talking about is SWANSON brand ,I called them and talk to product specialist and I was told that the rice maltodextrin is a natural integriend and their stevia is also good for use for diabetics and hypoglecymics,about the sweat leaf when you go to Swanson's website ,they also sell stevia leaf but only 50 pockets boxes and read the label there is also stated that there is less than 1g of sugar and less than 1g of carbohydrates.So I am pretty confused right now ,they said that there is always some sugar in stevia but some companys do not state this.What about the other one which I mentioned ,the one in the container ,it has as other intigriends:Honey powder and inulin.Thanks for the help,It is very important for Me to know as much as possible because I also suffer from adrenal fatigue and I think I am hypoglecymic,but that I will tell about in the next subject I just want to clear things up step by step.Thanks again.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 1-2 Tablespoon powdered green leaf = 1 cup sugar Hope this helps. :-) Debra NW ** I can just use the green powder in place of sugar? Anyone know equivelents? (1/4 tsp = 1 T of sugar or what???) Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 1, 2007 Report Share Posted December 1, 2007 Doug, on my stevia packet it says that Stevia is 10 times sweeter than sugar, so use 1/10 of the sugar amount in recipes. In Bee's egg drink (Anita's coffee shake and Nan's eggnog) I find 1/3 teaspoon gives a gentle sweetness.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Liz, All I know about Stevia is that it is from a natural plant. I am interested in learing to cook with it. They have a book at Whole foods I was going to get but they were out. I know it is a natural substitute for sweetandlow and nutrasweet, sugar. Colleen [ ] Stevia question Since yeast is a concern of ours I was hoping someone could give me the 411 on stevia. As I understand it this is a sugar substitute that the DANs recommend. We don't do a ton of sugar in this house other than fruits but since I began baking more to engage the kids in the process I have been using agave syrup. I recently found one that is suitable for diabetics. What makes stevia superior to agave syrup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 First, Stevia does not feed yeast. It also does not taste like sugar - it can be quite bitter if a large amount is used. It is nasty, in my opinion in iced tea or coffee. Furthermore, if you are going to try baking with it - you will have to get a specific cook book for cooking with Stevia as you would have to completely revamp regular recipes. Why? If the recipe calls for 1 cup of sugar, you would probably use 1 tsp of stevia. Something else will have to make up the bulk that the 1 cup of sugar would provide. I only use Stevia to sweeten unsweetened cranberry juice. It just didn't do the trick for us. For baking, I've used Xylitol (birch bark sugar - doesn't feed yeast) - substitutes 1:1 for sugar - no revamping recipes. I also use agave for drizzling over veggies. I like it. I haven't tried baking with it. maybe this shed a little light on things: Stephanee > > Liz, > > All I know about Stevia is that it is from a natural plant.

Guest guest Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Hi a, It's best to use the Green powdered kind that can generally be found in the bulk bins of most health food stores. If you're trying any other kind make sure you read the label and assure there are no additives. jackie > > Hi, > > Can someone remind which form of stevia is the best?
