It's a Sweet Life

I've used artificial sweetener for as long as I can remember. I have never been a fan of Sweet n' Low, but I have loved Equal. When all of the bad press started I switched to Splenda, but then I found something even better!

Stevia is an actual herb that's sweeter than any supplement I've found. It can't be sold as a named sweetener because the FDA would seize it, but it is sold as a dietary supplement. It's low in carbs and has the same fiber content as the fruit we eat. I love the taste and I only need half a packet in my morning coffee. Considering it has health benefits and it costs about the same since I use half the amount I used to, this product is going to have a permanent spot in my cabinet!
