Have you heard of Stevia? It's a relatively new and natural sweetener that is said to be healthier than older artificial sweeteners that have been on the market. For instance, aspartame aka Equal aka the little blue packet of fake sugar, can chemically be converted to formaldehyde in your body and formaldehyde is know to be a neurotoxin. Saccharin, aka Sweet N' Low aka the little pink packet of fake sugar, is actually derived from petroleum, the same stuff that gasoline is made out of. Do you want to eat a petroleum derivative? So if you're looking to cut down on carbs but don't want something so creepy like petroleum and formaldehyde, try Stevia. There are multiple companies making Stevia and this one, Truvia, is giving away a free sample so you can see if you like the taste or not.
