Stevia has been my main sweetener now for some time,and I have even got used to the slight aftertaste that it has.The EU also recently approved the use of stevia and softdrinks there will have that instead of the unhealthy sweeteners:) I tried to grow a stevia plant at home,but it died…

Well, Karin, stevia’s not new,having been used by Native Americans for centuries, and for the past 30 years in Japan, with no reports of health damage. I think the thing is to use it in moderation, just like sage or thyme, both of which have side effects if consumed unwisely. But no one eats so much of those as to cause themselves damage – unless they’re pretty unbalanced to start with.

What interests me with regard to health are the processed, commercial products based on stevia. Still waiting to hear about that.

I have read it might lead to liver malfunction. This new wonder sugr might need to be taken with a grain of salt.
