Baking with Stevia?

[SageMother]

Is that because of an aftertaste, SageMother... or because of the level
of sweetness? Or something else?

I think my brain interprets the sweetness of processed Stevia the same way it processes that "fishy" taste found in cheap tuna. Some people will find it sweet and I just don't.

Ah, that makes sense, yes. I have a feeling that it would be the same for
me. I've tried some of the artificial sweeteners and always came to the
same conclusion... that "real" sugar is better for me in the long run... I just
cut the amount down that I would have used (that's for coffee and tea, etc.
not for baking :-D )
