    Splenda is a chemical. This is friendlier to your body........

    Stevia Extract is a sweetener from the small (Stevia rebaudiana) plants
    native to Paraguay and Brazil. It was identified in 1887 by Antonio Bertoni,
    a South American scientist, who learned of the herb from the Guarani
    Paraguayan Indians. Stevia was known locally as Caa’-ehe or Kaa’he-e which
    means “sweet herb” or “honeyleaf”. Two French chem-ists named Bridel and
    Lavielle began to unravel the secret of Stevia in 1931 with exploratory
    extraction work on Stevia rebaudiana leaves. Their research yielded a pure,
    white crystalline compound they named “stevioside.” They found this
    substance to be 100-300 times sweeter than table sugar and without toxic
    side effects in laboratory animals. Dozens of studies have shown Stevia to
    be a safe supplement for the human diet, and it is currently used
    extensively throughout the world in a variety of ways. Since far less needs
    to be used, Stevia extract will not affect blood sugar levels nearly as much
    as sucrose (table sugar) and should be useful as a sweetener for those with
    diabetes. Stevia may be used in baking and cooking.

    Stevia is a chemical, too! So is sugar.

  6. Splenda is NOT chemically bad...and many use it. I prefer HONEY, the
    worlds oldest
    and most PERFECT food. It does NOT have SUCROSE at all and the ttotal
    NATURAL Glucose ( with a small amount of fructose is less than 22
    percent of the whole. Honey is also up to53 percent average PROTEIN!!
    ( 51% minimum) WHY try to beat perfection?? LOL! B-0b1

    Honey is good stuff, but it's not "perfect." It does not substitute well for
    sugar in many baking recipes, for example. And it should NEVER! be fed to
    infants.

    Honey is not "up to 53 percent average PROTEIN"

    For starters, "up to" implies that the number given is the
    maximum possible, not the average.

    Honey has ZERO protein: it's a sucrose solution produced by
    bflowers that is digested and regurgitated by bees as an energy
    source for their offspring.

    Search for honey here: ZERO in the portein column

    I'm trying to decide whether this "B-0b1" is incredibly stupid or a
    troll. For example, that claim that honey is 53% protein. Honey
    contains no protein (or fat) at all; it's entirely carbohydrates.

    He's showed up on m.h.a occasionally also. He's as far off the beam
    as Scudamore (who just oozed back on yesterday, I believe -- do you
    suppose they spend time in adjacent rubber rooms when they're not
    filling the newsgroups with drivel?).
