Stevia is currently the media darling of sugar-substitute sweeteners, marketed as an "all-natural sugar-free" sweetener and used in many popular low glycemic and sugar-free products. Author Julie Nygard (The Chocolate Therapist) digs a little deeper to find out what it really is, how it's made and why there's a controversy brewing surrounding its use. Julie is also the author of "The Last Damn Diet" and host of the 9-Minute Nutrition podcast.
