Did you know that you can grow your own Stevia? Even though at one time the FDA pulled this from the market, a few years later reinstated it as a "dietary supplement".
There are many places to obtain cuttings/plants so you can grow your own. Click on this site http://www.stevia.net/growingstevia.htm for more information on growing your own Stevia.
It is very easy to use; just take your leaves, dry them good and put them in a coffee grinder or kitchen herb grinder. You can even throw the leaves in a high-powered blender to sweeten up your smoothie.
One dried leaf, ground, is 10 to 15 times sweeter than an equal amount of sugar without the calories. Remember, a little goes a long way so experimentation is necessary to find the right amount for your particular taste.
