Thanks!!!
Hi Kimby98,
Dr. McDougall talks about Stevia in his November 2006 Newsletter article on Artificial sweeteners. Here is a brief quote.
“Stevia—A Natural, Safe, and Powerful Sweetener
From the leaves of a perennial shrub found in Paraguay and Brazil comes a substance that is 200 to 300 times sweeter than table sugar. This stable sweetener is essentially calorie-free, time-tested, and non-toxic—and therefore may be the best choice if you must use a sugar-substitute. Stevia, and its pure white active ingredient, stevioside, are safe when used as a sweetener and no allergic reactions to it have been reported.”
You can read the whole article here.
