300 times sweeter than sugar

Stevia is another natural sweetner that is a herb.
 It is 300 times sweeter than sugar. The reason that some folks say it is bitter is because the use WAY to much. You need a special measuring spoon for it because you use so little.

 There is also the problem of loosing bulk in cooking with it so you have to learn how to deal with it or use a Stevia one to one that substitutes directly for sugar and the bulk is already added in.

 I was surprised to learn that sugar has only been used like we use it now for a little over a hundred to hundred and fifty years. Before that, natural sweetners were used and they didn't have all the health problems we have today relating to sugars. It doesn't affect your blood sugar at all an seems to help with curing insiline resistance which is largely what diabetes 2 is. 

On honey, it is much slower absorbed than sugar so doesn't affect blood sugar as much.

Sugarless is not the way to go...  Your mussels and brain need it to function!   Just be sure to get the right sweetner!
