I love Stevia and use it every day in my coffee. I found that the "KAL" brand at Sprouts (or Henry's, Boney's or whatever they call themselves now) has the best flavor with no bitter aftertaste. I use Splenda on occasions, but it is artificially chlorinated molecule so it does make me a little nervous. PLease stay away from NutraSweet...it is poison. The FDA wouldn't approve its use back in the 1970's. It wasn't until Reagan took office, ousted the head of the FDA with the help of the CEO (Donald Rumsfeld) of the company (Searle) that discovered NutraSweet, that this poison was pushed on the American consumer. Anyway, enough of me and my conspiracy theories!! (I was on the Grassy Knoll)
