Stevia

[rawsomegirl]

Hello all,
I am fairly new here and still need to go to the welcome board :o but I only have a minute (at work :D ) to ask a quick question. Is it okay to sweeten my water with lemon and stevia? It has become my favorite drink (as I just came off of sodas and tea) because it tastes like lemonade. I had heard that stevia was all natural and it says so on the bottle. I am just wondering if it is okay to get all my water intake with lemons and stevia in it. I plan to eventually change over to just plain water with lemon, then just water, but this has really been getting me through.
Thanks for responding!

Yes, it is okay. Especially if it gets you drinking more water. I love to use stevia and have used it for years to sweeten things without sugars.

Nothing tastes better than stevia sweetened lemon water on a hot day!

I drink all my water with lemon and stevia. It makes me drink a lot more. I would be dehydrated if I had to drink plain water.

Yes, but I've heard that the body needs PLAIN water, too? Maybe I'm mistaken, though.

I read that lemon in the water makes you more alkaline, which is very good. Water by itself is never plain. The closest to plain is distilled water, but even that one is not 100 percent H2O.
Stevia is herb, but if you use powder, you would need to look what else they add there as fillers.
