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. 

Now, pay attention when you first try Stevia because it's potent -- about 30x more so than sucrose.  A little goes a long way.  I buy the Whole Foods brand in packets and carry them everywhere. There are lots of brands and types to choose from.  A friend of mine prefers the liquid drops and carries a small  bottle with her wherever she goes.

Enjoy the sweet life!
