There is so much conflicting information about it, it is hard to know what is true. :?
It is more expensive, but you could use stevia, a granulated or liquid. I buy it at the gro., but discount stores have it also, probably cheaper. I paid about $6 for a 40 (1 1l/2tsp.) serving container. It also comes on packets. Liquid is a few drops per serving-don't know that cost. It is supposed to be a natural sweetner and it would be for sweetening only-not cooking.
