For the first time ever I used it in my coffee this morning & it was fine. I went into it with a positive attitude, I didn't want to feel bitchy about it and I only used about an 1⁄8 of a teaspoon per cup. Giving it up isn't going to be the issue that I thought it might be.
Thanks!
Stevia is a non glycemic (won't screw with blood sugar) sweetener made from a plant and perfectly acceptable as a diet aid, without all the lovely cancerous side effects. Agave is another. Look them up. You can find both at health or whole foods joints, and Truvia is on many grocery shelves but I mistrust anything that'd been "processed". No telling what they did to it. I do believe there are some sodas experimenting with stevia as well...
