Use of stevia as sweetener
I use stevia. I started with using the actual plant and drying the leaves. Now I just buy it. Truvia is the brand I prefer. The taste can vary from brand to brand. One I can't stand is Stevia in the Raw. I think it's awful. Not sure why. And they have a brand here at work that I don't care for either. Just tossing that factoid out there in case you don't like the one you try first.
The previous poster is correct. Add far less than you think you need and work up from there. It can have a hint of a licorice aftertaste if you use quite a bit.

But mine liquid from Luckyvitamins.com Once you find the brand you like (some have aftertaste many people don't like) try to find in on line...
I bake with mine, use in shakes, coffee, etc...
