When you finally decide that sugar can no longer be a part of a healthy lifestyle, that's the moment when you begin looking at alternatives to use to add sweetness into your life while maintaining your commitment to livin' la vida low-carb.

While there are some excellent artificial sweeteners available on the market today that have been approved by the Food & Drug Administration for consumer use (despite the fact that many people still have concerns over the safety of these sugar alternatives), there is one product out there that many low-carbers happily use as a permanent substitute for sugar despite the fact it has not been approved to be a sweetener yet by the FDA.

Of course, I'm referring to the plant-based supplement called stevia.

I previously blogged about stevia and the controversy about whether it should be called a supplement since it has not been approved by the FDA as a sweetener or if the FDA will finally wise up by granting approval for this incredible zero calories, zero carbs, zero glycemic index product. Nevertheless, I get loads of e-mails and inquiries all the time about where people can learn more about this miraculous sweetening product.

There are a lot of fans of stevia in the low-carb and weight loss community include bestselling cookbook author Dana Carpender, Hampton's Diet author Dr. Fred Pescatore, businessman and former KETO executive Pete Maletto, and health advocate Dr. Nicholas Perricone, among many others.

So where can you go to get more information about this sweetener that you're not allowed to call a sweetener but everyone knows it's really a sweetener (are you confused yet?!)?
