I use stevia on my cut up fruit and berries. It does make stuff sweeter... however, by itself... it tastes a little funny. Also, I hear that ingesting too much of this isn’t good for you but I’ve had no problems so far...

Oh yeah... the reason why stevia is supposed to be superior to sugar is that it doesn't spike up your blood sugar and causes your body to flood itself with insulin which gets turned into fat.
On the other hand... artificial sweetener can cause problems such as headaches... which I get so I avoid artificial sweeteners...

I’ve tried stevia myself. By itself found it a little on the bitter side. Would like to try growing it but would not know how to extract the sweet stuff.
