The Nu Stevia sweetner substitute, is it harmful to use & since there are no calories would you recommend using it. Does it make you crave other sweets?

Hello,
This is a hot topic in weight management. What are the risks and benefits of artificial sweetener? My clinical experience has been that some people report greater craving for sweets when they use artificial sweeteners, but others report artificial sweeteners work well for them. There is significant ongoing research in this area, so hopefully there will be more information soon. Here is an article on artificial sweeteners that might be helpful: http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/nutrition-and-healthy-eating/in-depth/artificial-sweeteners/art-20046936
