Also, some studies suggest that it may possibly stimulate the release of insulin; in Protein Power Lifeplan, the Eades' recommend using stevia with caution.

I have yet to find any of these studies. If anyone knows of any, please contact me. In regards to Eades' recommendation, there is a single statement about stevia, which says that due to its bitter taste, stevia is in the same class as other insulin-stimulating sweeteners. Talk about unsupported assertions!
Anyone who does not like the anise tang of pure stevia should try the liquid stevia glycerite by NOW foods. |
