Yes, gets me into 'trouble' some times. Are they dairy or water kefir, alive or dry powder?

Thank you all for confirming my switch from Sugar to Stevia. Step by step making changes for the better. The information people bring to the table is wonderful! Keep it coming! We are all blessed as we awaken to the truth of what harms us, and what heals.
Blessings!
Blessings!

Even raw sugar is better than ANY of the artificial substitutes.

I would say raw organic sugar is better than raw non-organic sugar but not eating artificial sugars is highly recommended.

Water kefir looks like little wet gelatin crystals, and is for soda/sugar solutions.
Just gat a glass of milk, or quart to start off with, put them in, let sit out for 24 hours at 80 F give or take, it will be like buttermilk, remove grains with strainer, redo process in clean container. Finished product can be drunk as is or blended with fruit.
Theres more, that gets you started.

Now I have to figure out how to ween my Wife off this stuff as she puts Sweet-n-low in her coffee each morning and drinks a lot of decaf diet soda in the evenings. I will be getting some of that Stevia and have her try it, but the soda pop will be more difficult. I don't use sweeteners, besides honey, drink my coffee unsweetened with cream. I swore off soda pop decades ago. I've always thought these artificial sweeteners couln't be good for your health and now you have confirmed it for me......I've always hoped that when my time was up I would pass before my wife( very selfish of me, I know), but now I am somewhat alarmed. Wish me luck in trying to save the woman I love.
If she will - perhaps suggest she google: side effects of artificial sweeteners. If she reads this and doesn't stop...well, I'd be amazed.
To start with, they are the biggest CAUSE of weight gain ever. Pop is the biggest cause of weight gain in America. Look at the numbers of overweight people. the numbers of overweight children is astounding!

May I recomend Agave it is an excellent sweetener. It comes in light and dark. It is very good for diabetics, it doesn't effect the glucose levels in the body at all. Also, xylitol is another good sweetner.

Alchemist: I just got home from picking up my food at the Buyer's Club that I am in. They were letting people sample bottles of water kefir!!! I have never tasted it before and it was delicious!! This was Caveman Food brand. I think I would rather learn to make this and stay off of the dairy. Can you point me in the right direction on how to make it?
Thanks
Thanks

Maybe we can share soda recipes when you get 'cultured!'

Thank you so much!! I am very excited about making some water kefir. I made a batch of sauerkraut a few weeks ago. I have been bombarded by the bad practices of the medical establishment i.e. antibiotics, dental (mercury, etc), bad food, etc. and still haven't gotten back to normal yet. I am doing a lot of detoxing and this kefir will help me tremendously.
Thanks again,

Interested
I've been using stevia for 5 years now. I love making beverages using stevia, but it is also probably, because I'm used to the flavor at this point. I still drink sugar, but only sparingly as my family has a problem with diabetes.
