Allergic to ragweed? You might have a problem with stevia
« on: May 24, 2012, 12:53:03 PM »
Here is an interesting topic I ran across.  I thought I would share... I know many in the FTS family love to use stevia.  I never thought about the connection with these types of allergies (hay fever and ragweed...etc..) to something you might use to sweeten your drink with.  Hmmmmm food for thought  ;)

Great post, Shawn!!! :) :) :) :)

Allergies are tricky, sneaky little devils. And often, it's tough to diagnose causes without batteries of tests.

This is a great heads up for any FTS family members with allergies to ragweed or its cousins.
And, another reason to replace stevia with FTS ZERO! ;D ;D ;D
What you do today is what matters!
