Another two sweetner options available in health stores are Xylitol and Agave Nectar. I have Xylitol in coffee and Agave Nectar in green tea. I think you can use Xylitol for baking too because there are some really yummy cookies made with xylitol called Kookie Karma - also available at health stores. My favourite is the chocolate chip. @Allison - I also love heavy whipping cream in my coffee and as long as I stay on a relatively low carb diet I can have it an still lose weight. The great thing about lower carb is you don't have to worry so much about the fats. I tried Stevia but found it leaves a weird after-taste.

I'm looking into buying some plants for my garden, although I'm still not sure how I'd process it for use in my coffee....hmmm, new research project!

My family did the diet for several years to help with gut issues (autism among others) and stevia was a crucial part of the diet.

I just started reading your blog and it's great. Have you read Sugar Blues? We consume far too much of it here in the US - I write as I crave chocolate peanut butter ice cream! I use the toffee Stevia in french toast. Yum! I'll talk about it on my show too. I'm doing an online comedy cooking show where I share info like this in hilarious ways so I don't get shot talking about things like Monsanto. Thanks for being a Green Mom! I'm also Safe Side Superchick. If you have seen Baby Einstein, it is Julie Clark's new endeavor. Kids watch it over and over again and don't feed them sugar!

Don't forget to check for the liquid stevia - in many flavors - chocolate, cinnamon, apricot, english toffee, vanilla creme, grape, peppermint, even root beer. I have only tried the Sweet Leaf brand, but there may be others. Happy sampling! Hooray for Stevia!
