Why should people use stevia as an alternative to sugar or artificial sweeteners in dessert recipes?
There are so many reasons so Ill try to summarize. First, stevia has no calories, no carbs, no fat, no known side effects, and no aftertaste when measured properly. Secondly, it tastes great with virtually no aftertaste as long as you buy a high quality stevia product. When you use stevia instead of sugar, you greatly reduce or, in some recipes, virtually eliminate the carbs and thus your sugar intake. Using an all-natural alternative to sugar reduces the chemicals you are ingesting and, for many people, will eliminate undesirable side effects theyve experienced from artificial sweeteners.
