I was thinking about using Stevia rather than Splenda because from what I've understood from different sources, Stevia is natural and better for your body (you know, when it all comes down to Splenda is still a chemically made product).
Atkins briefly mentioned that Stevia is approved as a supplement not a sweetener but he didn't say anything about its usage in his diet program.

So I was wondering is it ok to use Stevia exclusively as my choice of sweetener in the LC diet?
And as a further note, as far as I know Stevia does not affect blood sugar level and it's recommended for diabetics too.

Thanks.
