Understandable.

Interesting. I'll have to look that up.

We use much less than the American average, but we still find that some
things need a little bit. Ruth likes her tea sweet. I drink my coffee
black. However, if I make espresso, I do like a little sweetening
sometimes. In cases like that the stevia (currently, Stevia In The Raw)
helps to take the edge off and avoid adding other sweeteners that would
be bad for us. Unfortunately, we had gotten a gallon of maple syrup, and
are now wondering how we will use it in ways that won't put Ruth in the
hospital.

We would just use all whole wheat flour (likely soft wheat flour) for
these. It does not affect the carb count, but since we don't have white
flour in the house, we use what we have.
