HERB - stevia

[Mary Temple]

I did see mention of it's possible hypoglycemia effects. That's probably 
why.  As I said, it's another "possible" sugar substitute for Diabetics. 
Aspirin also has some hypoglycemia effects, and caffeine has some 
hyperglycemia effects. Pretty much any food or drug will affect blood 
sugar/insulin levels - even water. :) The problem is that a lot of 
well-meaning people have recommended to me that I use honey as a "sugar" 
substitute, while not understanding that honey is simply a form of sugar and 
will raise blood sugar levels just like table sugar does - I was wondering 
if the situation were the same with stevia.
