[katary]

these all have carbs:( go with xylitol or umpa also likes stevia (i think)

[owensmath]

I prefer xylitol.

[Joanne]

Me too!

[Alex Cruz]

I will have to give it a try.

[umpa]

Xylitol and stevia are my sweetners of choice.Make sure they are 100% pure with no fillers.You can grow stevia in your  backyard aly.

[Alex Cruz]

how would I use it? like a herb?

[Phil]

Stevia in plant form can be used as a herb or it comes in powder form.  Very highly concentrated powder, real sweet its the only one I use.

[ShihTzuMom1]

I prefer xylitol.  I find that stevia still has that aftertaste.

[Phil]

Yea it took me a while to get used to it. It is 0 carb and not bad if you go easy using it.

[umpa]

Aly it is sweet and wonderful cut up in salads or used chopped in salsas.But alittle goes along way!I like to mix it fresh in with a berry salad.You can dry the leaves by hanging upside down and then boil with food or tea.In south florida you can grow it year round and harvest as needed,but use a globe so it doesn't bolt during the summer from lack of water.i bought my stevia plants in key west at the home depot.

Has anyone heard of Whey Low?

[Doug Varrieur]

Whey Low is 4 grams of carbs per teaspoon, just like sugar it's not what you want to be using if you wish to lose weight....poison!

[rene]

Whey Low Sugar Replacement.

Per their website the carb count is 1 gram per teaspoon - Has anyone tried?

So far I have found xylitol the best tasting without nasty aftertaste and have even ground to the closest as possible to confectioners sugar when needed. 

Whey low offers several different options - Granulated, Confectioners, Maple and some type of Ice Cream formulated sugar - would make some dessert making a little easier.

What are your thoughts?  Am I reading something incorrectly?

Thanks in advance!!  )
