Someone else recently wrote:  " An alternative (for aspartame) was
suggested-Something called Stevia. It is a natural sweetener that is used in
diet sodas in some countries like Japan, but Monsanto has blocked it from
being legal in the US. "

Not true. My local health food store carries Stevia in individual packets or
in a box, I bought it for my diabetic mom.  It is VERY sweet and goes a long
way.  It is in fact a 100% natural GF sweetener.
