I don't trust the FDA, but maybe I'll give in another 50 or 60 years and if I'm still around and that stuff hasn't fucked anyone up, then maybe I'll take a taste. Thnx for the info though.

Stevia: 300x sweeter than sugar, no carbs & good for diabetics I stumbled across this plant while looking through a seed catalog and decided to do some more reading. Its actually quite fascinating. It is widely available in Japan, but in the US its the subject of some controversy over whether or not it is "safe" as a food additive. This isn't because of evidence that it is dangerous, simply because of lack of evidence that it isn't. Stevia (aka Sweetleaf, Sweet Leaf, or Sugar Leaf) is a plant that has been used for hundreds of years as a sweetener. Rating: 5
