The vast majority of the packet contains starch. I'm not sure how a compound in such small quantities could significantly impact the acidity of the food.<BR/><BR/>3) Lots of healthy foods we eat regularly are pretty acidic (tomatoes, lemons, and a health food favorite...apple cider vinegar) All foods are subjected a highly acidic enviroment in the stomach, which is immediately balanced by bicarbonate solution at the very beginning of the small intestine. For this reason, acidity is not something I've worried about too much in food.<BR/><BR/>4) Stevia is not approved for use in food products in this country. Though there are some concerns that it is a "carcinogen" the opposition is more likely due to the fact that it is not economical for conpamies to fund the needed safety research data needed to approve Stevia as a food additive. <BR/><BR/>5) I don't like the flavor of Stevia, though if you do, you could try it in this recipes and see how it goes! It is sold as a dietary "supplement" Let me knowhow it comes out!Jean Gutierrez, PhD, RDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11863294608478840708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5357883904728457402.post-56833891861980624652008-02-20T17:36:00.000-08:002008-02-20T17:36:00.000-08:00I was wondering why you don't replace splenda as a...I was wondering why you don't replace splenda as a sweetener with a more natural and less acidic sweetener like stevia for example.<BR/><BR/>www. ivannikolov .comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
