Do you put sugar in your coffee or tea? Read this and you won't anymore.
I recently read Kevin Trudeau's "Natural Cures They Don't Want You To Know About" which I'm convinced probably added 50 years to my life. One thing that he mentioned was Stevia, a plant that's 400 times sweeter than sugar. It's available in liquid and powered extract, I prefer the liquid since it comes with an eyedropper to easily measure a small amount, the powdered form needs 1/32 of a teaspoon to equal a few teaspoons of sugar, I don't know about you, but most measurement spoons only go to 1/8th, making it rather hard to measure such a small amount, plus with the liquid one you don't need to dirty any spoon.
Here's the crazyest part, it's actually illegal to even say Stevia tastes sweet, "any mention of its possible use as a sweetener or tea is still strictly prohibited", see www.stevia.net
I haven't used sugar since the day I bought Stevia, and that tiny 2oz bottle sure lasts a long time, it's equal to tens of pounds of sugar.
And if you think Splenda or Aspartame are better than sugar (as I did, the ads brainwash us to think that), check www.sweetpoison.com, there are 92 health side effects caused by Aspartame, many mimic symptoms of other diseases, and your doctor will give you drugs rather than tell you to stop taking aspartame which is the cause of the problem. These artificial sweeteners used in most diet products are shown to increase the user's weight (in fact, just about all diet products are specifically made to make people gain weight, that way they keep eating diet products thinking they'll loose weight).
Don't let these criminal/terrorist companies kill you with their poisonous sweeteners which they know are extemely dangerous.
..the extract has the potential ..steviol, is genotoxic

Heh, now you are definately confus-ed about that - I can think of another that outsells it by miles, not found in shops though unless you are in amsterdamn ! :p :eek2: :devil:
I think if various folks wade their way through the studies on all of this they'll discover that any dangers are only 'proven' for the synthetic or purified forms, not the plant itself, but as we live in such a dumb world, because somebody can prove the pure form might be dangerous, then that means any body who wants to sell this has to prove it safe ..
btw Power lines are genotoxic, as are car exhaust fumes, too much sunlight etc etc
& lastly; My Granny swears by this, & she's 93 ... but I think it tastes minging - greasy & bitter if you overdo the dosage ! (I guess that's why various folks want to sell it 'built in' to stuff, hence the FDA's various rulings..)
