I use stevia. I believe it's the only grown sweetener (not man made from
chemicals)- about 80 times sweeter than sugar. If you use too much you
get an aftertaste. Been around many years and studies say it won't hurt
you. Sold under the name NuStevia as a food supplement.
The two largest soft drink companies are trying to get it thru the FDA
so they can use it instead of aspertame. A friend of mine who owned the
US franchise for Canada Dry ginger ale clued me in, in the '70's, but he
had to use sugar by his franchise. He would buy it by the trainload,
much to the consternation of the commodities market. [He would speculate
on the commodity market, where commodities don't actually change hands
usually, then call for delivery of sugar. Practically unheard of.]
Anyway, he - (a microbiologist)- was always trying to get Canada Dry to
change to stevia.
