We moved from Spring over the summer. I have a speaking engagement tomorrow down in the Memorial area and will be stopping by either Whole Foods or Central Market to load up on my Stevia-Plus. I wish they would put a Central Market or Whole Foods in the northern part of Houston. It would make my life soo much easier! -------------------- Have a blessed day!...Rachel stable and sooooooo thankful! I have IBS but it doesn't have me!

I have terrible "C" without it but the fiber in the Stevia-Plus is what I thank God for every time I drink my coffee. I don't know about baking with it...I have never tried. Stevia isn't cheap so baking with it isn't cost effective. -------------------- Have a blessed day!...Rachel stable and sooooooo thankful! I have IBS but it doesn't have me!

NO! NO! NO! NO! Equal is not safe as an artificial sweetner alternative. Honestly, IT HAS SENT ME INTO HIDEOUSLY EVIL SPASMODIC PAINFUL ATTACKS!!! It's aspertame/nutrasweet! I'm pretty sure that "Equal" brand contains lactose too. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, just know that IT IS NOT IBS-safe. Stevia, however, is generally safe to use. Kate.
