Shelley, yes, while I realize stevia isn't an artificial sweetener, it acts like one as far as baking is concerned. I was trying to distinguish standard sugars — granulated, brown, confectioners' — from all the other sweeteners out there. If you're using stevia just for flavor, then absolutely give it a try; can't comment on whether this will affect insulin response, as that's a question for your doctor. Good luck! PJH
