its interesting that I have personally used artificial sweeteners all my life and have never recommended it to my patients! I seem to agree that I eat the sugar "somewhere else"

What is your opinion on the artificial sweetner Stevia?.
Posted by Happy

Some fifteen odd years ago an editorial in the BMJ highlighted hepatocellar damage from artificial sweetners. Anybody?
The person using it is encouraged to remember the taste of 'sweetness' in the food or drink - it is the brain that needs to forget the taste so that cravings for sweet stuff are modified. After all one can teach the brain to do anything - even put salt in the tea - if one persists long enough or teach them young enough.

Stevia seems pretty safe, I use Splenda -Sucralose! Not sure if there is anything 100% safe, people used to eact large amounts of Tuna, and then mercury poisioning came about. DuaneF

Yes, I do advice artificial sweeteners for my diabetic patients. But they seem to have important differences among each other.

All Best,

Joey
