    I do and I really like it! I was told not to use Splenda because it's bad for you. I didn't know that. I liked it! So I got some stevia and I really like it.

    Me!! ME!! Personally, I think it almost seems sweeter than sugar! And my neighbor grows it. I like picking the leaves and eating it like that, too.

    WAY better, to me, than the other stuff.

    I use it for most things but unfortunately can't get used to it in coffee/espresso.

    I've started using Nectresse for my coffee needs.

    I like it but I also heard there's a chemical process involved??! I haven't done any research on this though.

    I put it in my tra as well! I make my own pitcher of it :) I am a little worried about chemicals too, but I feel it is still better than splenda or sweet n low because in the long run it is all natural!! I need to get me a Stevia plant!!! That would be awesome!!

    Of course there is a chemical process involved. I don't see any leaves stuffed in a box.

    Stevia user here, too. :) Powdered, liquid, and flavored liquid. :) I also buy my protein powder sweetened with Stevia. (About Time protein) I use it in cereal and pretty much anything I want sweetened.

    The vanilla flavored liquid is good in coffee; I also use Stevia in the Raw in coffee, too.

    I only use other sweetners if they are already in a product I am using, like sugar free Log Cabin.

    I use Stevia in my morning tea and cheerios/oatmeal. I've also used it in baking and haven't noticed a difference in taste over the sugar. I also think it has less (if any) of an after-taste than Splenda.

    Splenda is made from sugar, which is also "all natural." But just because something is all natural doesn't necessarily mean it's good for you.

    The only thing I don't use it in is my coffee. Just can't get used to the taste of it. But I love putting it in my yogurt especially with some fresh fruit!

    This is the famous puppy that ate my fitbit, which is off topic of how much I love Splenda in my grapefruit.
