Question regarding alternative sweetners

[Guest guest]

Moderator's Note: Instead of debating how many teeth are in a horse's mouth,

the best course of action is to look and count. So I will always advise

thoughtful observation. Please keep us informed if anything changes.

I can't say that I've experience abnormal hunger from either the Stevia

or my weekly treat. But then again, I try to eat small meals throughout

the day so my blood sugar stays steady so I only occasionally get

abnormally hungry. I'll try being more sensitive to that and see what

happens.

I wouldn't think that Stevia would trick the brain in the same way

since it's an herb and the " sweet " taste is produced by constituents

different from those of artificial sweetners. However, it's the taste

to the tongue sending messages to the brain that made me wonder.

I wish Stevia would winter over in my part of the country but the

climate is too cold. I did keep some in a pot on my porch one summer.

It was fun seeing my niece and nephew's reactions when they bit into

one of its leaves!

Has anyone here tried to grow it inside?
