"Maybe stevia is the answer."
I never tried stevia, but interestingly enough, for some strange reason, fructose has a very low glycemic index, exactly the opposite of what you would think. So, you might try fructose, though I am not recommending it per-se. Just an idea.

Believe it or not, I am trying stevia at this very second. Strawberriers & stevia. Not bad. Fructose comes from corn. Corn in any form makes me wake up with a headache. (no tortillas no cornbread no cornbread dressing no fried catfish no tamales no tacos no corn majoux no corn chowder nothing sweetened with corn syrup, which means no cookies no store bought cakes pies etc etc) WAH! I might as well be on a low carb diet, there is so much I can't eat. LOL

Once you read Dr. Atkin's book, I think you'll be satisfied with the amount of vegetables you can eat and the variety of food choices available to you.

sorry about the 'corn' problem, but corn has a very high glycemic index and fructose has a very low glycemic index, and actually helps lower my blood sugar.
Corn spills sugar into my urine immediately.
In addition, something else strange happened. If you remember, a few years back, when they got the corn mixed up, and put some genetically altered corn into torillia chips and other things. I got some of these chips, before they found out about it, and got really sick. It turned out that it had been genetically altered to have a grown in bug poison which in cattle, didn't bother them because of their multiple stomachs, but it sensitized me badly, and it took about 6 months before I could eat any corn again (extra sugar or not, I still love corn - so I cheat sometime).
I have found lowering my stress has dramatically lowered my blood sugar lately, but stress (no matter what I eat) still shoots it through the roof.

Your link is a vegan site, I am more than a little nervous about the discrediting of any products. When it comes to single/closed mindedness, I would place Peta, and the Vegan's at the top of my list..
These are well meaning people, and I have friends that are followers, but any position that these folks take, or assertions they put forth without certifiable proof I have to withhold my judgment until I balance their views against the evidence.. Just thought you should know..

I don't use aspertame. As a matter of fact, I rarely use sugar or any type of sweetener (I'm sweet enough...HA!). I don't bake much, so never had the need for it. I did purchase Splenda to make your cheesecake recipe, Carlo, but so far that's the only time I've used it. The cheesecake was delicious, btw!
