    as far as stevia goes, I greatly prefer liquid stevia over powder in packets. I use SweetLeaf brand liquid stevia (amazon has the best price) and I also use 365 brand (WholeFood's house brand) vanilla stevia and NowFoods stevia glycerite. It's a little pricey but that just forces me to ration it out judiciously lol. No dextrose in liquid stevia.

    We use the Sweetleaf brand stevia as well. It's nothing but stevia and a tiny amount goes a LONG way. I put 1/8 of a tsp in my husband's coffee and he likens it to 2 tsp of sugar in terms of sweetness.

    I agree with weaning yourself off sugar all together though. I did it when I graduated from college because I just didn't want the hassle of sugar in my coffee. Now I can't stand sweet coffee, so it's possible. Start by reducing the amount a little by little. I'd bet that in a month, you could totally adjust to sugar free without too much pain.

    Can you find real honey? I guess you can use a little in your coffee in the morning. But don't add it to very hot beverages because the healthy ingredients are destroyed.
