When you reach for a sweetener to flavor your iced tea or coffee, your options can be confusing.

I use SweetLeaf Sweetener Stevia--the first stevia brand!

I stay away from aspartame at all costs because I have a variant of Phenylketonuria, but I think everyone should stay away from it for their own good!

For anyone who wants to learn about stevia--it's safety or health benefits, or for those who may be confused about the many stevia brands, there is a free webinar tomorrow, 10/27 with Jim May,"The Father of Stevia." He was the first to bring stevia into the U.S. back in 1982 and is very knowledgeable about it. If you're interested, go to the link below, and the link to register is embedded in the article you will be brought to (towards the end). Remember, it's free!

[TRUTHMAN]

I remember when aspartame was thought to be healthy by consumers. Yet, the truth was out there, those who knew tried to tell people. People believed what they wanted to. Many ended up with tumors and death from it. It took many casualties for the FDA and others to be "forced" to act concerned.

Then consumers started worrying because it was the "popular" thing people were doing. Then comes Splenda, the savior. Again, people were easily duped by the lobbying of another miracle product. It has become a repeat of the same.

Now comes Stevia.

OH BUT ITS DIFFERENT!!

NOT.

One thing I have learned well in my life is that ANYTHING that brings multi-million dollar profits is NEVER healthy or good for the body.

True health never makes a big profit. And you dont see the vultures of corporate amaerica swooping down to take advantage of a tomato crop.
