I have heard only good about this. I stay away from artificial sweeteners,besides they give me headaches.How do you rank this? in taste/cost/health?

    I've switched to using this in baking & as my all-around sweetener - it's WOOONNNDERFUL!!! It's definitely sweeter than sugar and you don't need to use as much. It's somewhat pricey but I deal with that knowing that it's a healthier way to get my sugar fix :)

    Never tried it but its banned in the UK and rest of Europe, not sure of the reasons. It was only made legal in the US in the 90's.
