I've totally gotten off of aspartame after over 20 years of use. I haven't had a diet coke in almost 6 weeks.
But I have been using Truvia, a derivitive of Stevia, for that length of time. I don't eat it every day, just maybe two or three packs a week.
I'm wondering how safe this sweetner really is. Is it going to rot my brains? I know that it says it's a natural sweetner, but have there been any studies on it to prove that it's safe?
Also, for the past few weeks, I've had the oddest thing happening, and I'm not sure if it's related to the Stevia or what, but I seem to be getting a very sweet taste in my mouth when I haven't eaten anything sweet. Even my skin will taste sweet. I'm not diabetic or anything (that I'm aware of), and I know this isn't a symptom of diabetes (though it's the first thing I thought of.) What could be causing that?
