Natural Alternative to Sugar

Stevia, a new found sugar substitute that is much easier on your body and the environment. Natural cane sugar has a very harmful impact on the human body, it can cause several intestinal problems that can cause disease over a long period of time. What may sound strange to you is that cane sugar has a negative impact on the environment. You might be sceptical at that thought, but it makes sense if you think about it for a minute. Cane sugar has been one of the highest demanded crops in this country and around the world for centuries. Sugar of course, must be grown in fields just like any other crop. This takes cultivating, plowing, pestecides, herbecides, and many other chemicals that seep into the ground and have long term negative impacts on our earth.
Stevia, however, is an all natural sugar substitute that has no negative imapact on the environment. It can not yet be found in local stores because it hasn't gone through all the tests that it must, but it should be soon available to the general public.
I would encourage everybody to try Stevia when it becomes available to us for the simple fact that you will be doing the environment and your self a huge favor by switching.
