HERB - stevia

[Mary Temple]

Thanks for the information, but that doesn't really answer my question. 
However, I did a bit of QUICK (read: 10 to 15 minutes) research myself, and 
what I'm finding seems promising. From what I've read, Stevia itself does 
NOT raise blood sugar like refined sugar and honey. Which means - it's 
possibly another 'sugar substitute' available for diabetics like aspartame 
and saccharin. Yay!
