The culprit would have been the 50% sugar or your medication.<br />I haven&#39;t heard of anything bad from Japanese use of Stevia in the last 30 years.jorjhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11396322247720600331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1862134082378138947.post-69550046105996424402010-11-28T21:18:58.775+10:002010-11-28T21:18:58.775+10:00The last part was interesting. Last year while recovering from a heart attack I came across CSR&#39;s latest attempt to promote healthier eating - &#39;smart&#39;sugar - 50/50 sugar and stevia. Thinking I was helping my recovery I started using it, only to find that blood tests indicated I was pre-diabetic. I was told that possibly my medication was interfering with my metabolism. Now it would seem the stevia was the real culprit.Tammashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12608064863735467131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1862134082378138947.post-9572061900622575512008-10-24T16:05:00.000+10:002008-10-24T16:05:00.000+10:00Fabulous - thanks so much for all the research you put into bringing us this information David.<BR/><BR/>I think the jurry is still out on that one in this household :-PPaula...http://www.blogger.com/profile/15701280669223148765noreply@blogger.com
