Yes, that was me, Sparker! I wrote in your journal about the stevia I have found (after trying many different brands over the years) that I really like--it's extremely concentrated and must be used very sparingly, but I find no aftertaste and it's satisfying to me in my coffee (for my RM and the one extra I have) and in my RM when I want to sweeten cottage cheese or strawberries, etc. But remember, there's also the caveat, explained by others in this forum who have more knowledge and experience than I, that even something like stevia--that is, anything that imparts a sweet taste, even if it's not "sugar"--may cause a rise in insulin and lead to increased cravings, etc. So experiment, if you want to, but listen to your body.
That said, the stevia I get is from Health Nuts in NYC, put out by KAL, called "Pure Stevia Extract Powder" (don't get the hybrid kind, that has another ingredient as well; the pure kind is what I get).
Good luck!
