Check out the herbal-based sweetener called Stevia. I have a little on hand in case I need to sweeten anything that won't jive with my brown sugar.


from wikipedia:
With its extracts having up to 300 times the sweetness of sugar, stevia has garnered attention with the rise in demand for low-carbohydrate, low-sugar food alternatives. Stevia also has shown promise in medical research for treating such conditions as obesity and high blood pressure. Stevia has a negligible effect on blood glucose, even enhancing glucose tolerance; therefore, it is attractive as a natural sweetener to diabetics and others on carbohydrate-controlled diets.
and btw, thanks for the links! I was having a hard time searching with google; kept finding the same thing over and over.
