Should be in every library

Great book with fantastic info. Highly recommended reading for everyone, especially those with diabetes and sugar problems. Natural product and HEALTHY opposed to garbage used in "sugar free" products now.

If you use artificial sweetner, you need to read this!!

Mindblowing!! Really informative about the adverse effects of saccharine and aspartame in foods we eat everyday. You'll read about how the FDA won't approve stevia for U.S. consumption in food products, but you'll also see that studies have proven otherwise... very very interesting and informative. You'll never use artificial sweetners again!

The Stevia Story: A Bittersweet Tale

The Stevia Story: A Tale of Incredible Sweetness is a must for anyone concerned with sugar or sugar substitute intake; or anyone looking for an example of the shameless, unethical, and unprincipled behavior practiced from time to time by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).The sweetener known as Stevia comes from the plant of the same name, used for centuries as a sweetener without ill effect. The Stevia Story traces the long history of safe, effective, world-wide stevia use and its relatively recent introduction to the USA. The Story provides information about the different kinds of Stevia available and used world wide, the different kinds of Stevia available in the USA, looks at various ways to use Stevia, and offers a number of recipes. There's even a section on growing Stevia.Part and parcel of The Stevia Story is the story of the FDA's suppression of Stevia. If there is any shortcoming in The Stevia Story, it is in the authors' failure to elaborate on the fact that the FDA's obvious liaison with Searle/Monsanto in suppressing Stevia and approving the neurotoxic sweetener, Aspartame is only one example of the FDA's liaison with, and promotion of, Ajinomoto, Monsanto, and other purveyors (or former purveyors) of neurotoxic chemicals.
