Hello Windeguy, thanks for the info.
Nothing comes without some side effects, but stevia surely seems more healthy than sugar and the artificial sugar substitutes. In fact, the sugar lobbyists and food industry succeeded in delaying stevia-approval in the E.U. for more than 10 years so they could continue to make us fat with all their calories.
Anyway, anyone seen any stevia plantations in the D.R. or does it only grow in sub-tropical latin america (uruguay, paraguay)?
