Is Stevia Better Than Sugar?

I just read this article about Stevia, the wonder plant that’s super sweet and apparently better for us than refined sugar. The USDA won’t say if it’s good or bad and that makes me wonder.

Sugar is big business. Lots of companies rely on sugar as their bread and butter—so to speak. What would happen if the USDA suddenly gave Stevia the go ahead? Are sugar importers ready to change products? Are sugar growers ready to change crops? Is the general public interested in a healthy alternative? Does the average consumer count the amount of sugar in their baby formula? Care about what makes their Coke or Pepsi taste sweet? Want to find a brand of cookies that contains nothing but natural ingredients?

Should/would/could it take the USDA’s approval to remove the word “apparently” from the first sentence of this post?
