Is anyone else using Stevia as their sweetener of choice? I just bought some and like it but would appreciate the opinions of others. I've heard good and bad about it and now I'm questioning how safe it is. It almost seems too good to be true seeing that it's supposedly natural AND calorie/carb free. Thanks! :)

    I put a packet in my smoothie every day. I feel fine, I've been doing this for over a year.
    If I grow an extra limb or something odd like that I'll report back to this thread.

    i bought some packets to put in my coffee and i thought it was too sweet. but i don't like a lot of sweetener in my coffee so it could just be me.

    I like it too. The brand Stevia in the Raw is a good one becuase nothing else is added (unlike MANY other stevia containing sugar substitutes). I haven't heard anything bad about stevia (yet) but as someone else said - everything in moderation, still don't want to overdo it. I just need something in my coffee in the morning and oatmeal when I have that so I go w/ Stevia in the Raw and I put some in a small tupperware container that I keep w/ me at work to use here.
