I use Stevia extract since many years without ill-effect. Forgot to pack it for this year's 6-week vacation at a south Indian beach. And suddenly came in the experience of the power of Meshashringi (Gymnema sylvestre) extracts and powders. Which I also did take for many years against high blood glucose effect, and which is considered as a killer for sweet taste.
I've wrongly thought it to mean one would lose the like for sweet taste. But without, and regular drinks with loads of the most bitter, sour, stringent, acrid and aromatic herbs. It just didn't bother me anymore. The last week there I even found for the first time portioned packs of stevia extract, mixed with another alcohol sugar, available. But did the remaining week without.
II'm again using Stevia extract, but I'm no more distressed forgetting it in my most nasty tasting herbal drinks.
