Editorial Reviews

Product Description
One of the most perplexing dilemmas faced by countless people today is the 'sweet surrender' question -- that is, whether to give in to the evils of sugar, or accept a chemical substitute likes aspartame with all of the possible health problems that might involve.

This book, however, offers another option -- one that’s actually been known about for many centuries in parts of South America, and has been widely used by the Japanese for the past quarter century. It’s the sweet herb stevia --a noncaloric solution to the sweetener problem that’s not only totally safe, but has various health benefits. "The Stevia Story: a tale of incredible sweetness and intrigue," contains everything you need to know about this beneficial herb from Paraguay, from its history of use by the Guarani Indians to its 'rediscovery' by much of the civilized world and the campaign against it carried on by the FDA. Also included is a description of the various forms in which stevia may now be obtained, along with advice on how to grow the herb at home and 10 delicious stevia recipes. With a foreword by James S. Turner, author of "The Chemical Feast," and "Making Your Own Baby Food."

5.0 out of 5 stars The Stevia Story: A Bittersweet Tale, June 30, 2000
By A Customer
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you use artificial sweetner, you need to read this!!, June 17, 2003
By happy mommy "celks1" (Baton Rouge, LA United States) - See all my reviews
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!
