Question The Sweetner Stevia

I have tried Stevia in the individual packets for beverage sweetners but have not baked with it..have a few questions and hope that someone can answer them...my basic knowldge on Stevia is this ," the Stevia leaf has been known by the indigenous Indians in the forests of Paraguay as the "honey" leaf.... Stevia has also been incorporated into many Indian traditional healing and dietary practices.... Stevia comes from plantations maintained by the Guarani Indians in Paraguay, who cultivate some of the best tasting whole leaf Stevia available. .. The Stevia leaf contains a compound, stevioside, which is two hundred or more times sweeter than sugar. It is used throughout the world, particularly in Japan, as a noncaloric sweetener. Stevia has virtually no calories. It dissolves easily in water and mixes well with all other sweeteners... " how does liquid Stevia compare with liquid Splenda in regards to carbs and has anyone used this product to bake with instead of granular Splenda and if so what proportions does one use anyone know of any informative websites to answer these questions? ....

Thanks.

Bonnie
