All you want and need to know about Stevia,
This review is from: Stevia Rebaudiana : Natures Sweet Secret (Paperback)
I have done extensive research on the history and uses of Stevia. The most common roadblocks I have come across are 1. Scare tactics by artificial sweetner companies that warn of the *dangers* of this natural alternative 2. Companies that are selling Stevia themselves that write glowing fluff that, although may be true, don't provide any facts about what Stevia is or where it's history lies. Then I found this book. Mr. Richard brings an his extensive research and knowledge to the pages and introduces the reader to Stevia from every angle. Taking the time to include growing tips, history and even recipes, this author has done an outstanding job of showing the benefits of Stevia and how easily it can and is used in the world. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is interested in incorporating this healthful plant into their life and for anyone who wonders what all the hype is about.

A Definie Read!,
By Cheryl White "DecideToBeHealthy.com" (Fort Smith, Arkansas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stevia Rebaudiana : Natures Sweet Secret (Paperback)
You'll be amazed and furious when you realize that this NATURAL sweetener has been used in other parts of the world for years and yet the FDA has tried to keep it away from Americans. Guess we should "follow the money" and find out why.
