Use stevia. It has been banned by a Monsanto law suite because it would
blow nutra-sweet out of the water. I'm slowly growing a plant of my own.
It is 250 times sweeter than sugar, used in South America for centuries
as well as present use in Japan.

Are your serious, Billy? Stevia is banned?

I understand it is also widely used in England in powdered form. Why
doesn't Monsanto just pay farmers to grow it and market it? They can put
it in expensive little pink/green/purple/whatever packets too. Whoops,
guess we can't do that 'cuz it wouldn't be chemical free.

BTW, a chocolate peppermint leaf and a piece of Stevia leaf is a great
dessert - no calories too.

Stevia isn't 'banned', but it isn't allowed to be sold as a sweetner,
it's sold as a 'supplement'. And once again Monsanto strikes.

Grrrrr.
OK. OK. I was a little too glib again. Stevia is available as anything
but a food additive in this beautiful "One Nation Under Guard". I have
only seen it sold as a skin care product with the appropriate wink,
wink, nudge, nudge from the proprietor.
I only got one plant to germinate and it is only about the size of a
quarter with three leaves. It may spend the winter under the grow light.
So far my experience with medicinal herbs is that they don't do much the
first year but then come on like "Gang Busters" after that.

As I said in another post, it's available here as a health supplement
in all of the health food stores, including Whole Wallet.
