Re: Sugar substitute STAVIA - Does it exist? (fwd)

[Betty Dawn Hamilton <bhamilt@TENET.EDU>]

Hello Group, several of us have been discussing stevia as a possible
research topic for students.  Since this is NOT a sales pitch but sites
for information, I'm forwarding it to the group.  I haven't saved all of
the addresses who e-mailed me "me too" replies.

Betty,

I received a copy of your post and another person's post to LM_NET.
I thought I should respond to the posts since I know alot about
stevia, aspartame, and sweeteners in general.  Feel free to forward
the information below to the group if you feel it is appropriate.

I have extensive information on my web page about stevia and
aspartame (and I'm not selling anything, by the way).  This includes
scientific documents and general documents.  I also have a sweetener
resource list that contains a few of the *many* sources for stevia
extract that are available.

I suggest that you visit the above-mentioned sites and print out the
documents you are interested in.  As far as stevia resources go, I
believe the Sunrider brand tastes the best, but other forms may be
better for cooking.  You may want to start by purchasing a bottle of
the Sunrider brand and also purchase the new cookbook/information
book on stevia that was written by Linda Bonvie (sold by Body Ecology
Diet -- see resource list).

The web pages are as follows:

Please let me know if you have any difficulty retrieving documents or
need further information.

Best Wishes,
                             - Mark
