Yes, it's true - there is a healthy sweetener and I was reminded of it today in an article I received from RealAge.com.   This is the delightful au naturel sweetner that Dr. Young introduced me to several years ago and it's called Stevia which is a natural compoud isolated from the leaves of the plant Stevia rebaudiana.  Stevia has about 0 calories and what's most important Divas is that it is Non-acidic!!!  Rejoice -- here's an alkaizing sweetner.
