After getting put down rather abruptly, I did

some "homework" which was enough to convenience me that IF I were to use an

artificial sweetener, then sucralose and NOT stevia was the preferred

sweetener. (Actually 5 pounds of sugar will last for several years in our

house anyway. However there was a big discussion about gar-gum pudding

which does require a sweetener, so I went ahead and got into the

sucralose/Splenda camp.)

Oops, I should have read ahead before sending my previous post on stevia - sorry. I guess you sum it up quite nicely here: We all make our choices and what works for you may not work for me. I actually grow my own sweet leaf and use it to sweeten tea and such. Have done so for years and years with no problem whatsoever. I gravitate towards "the more natural the better" and cut down on sugar this way a long time ago. Hey, works for me...:-)
