 ML>> don't see the point of potatoes.

As long as there isn't green, the solanine shouldn't be much of an
issue... and it's also my understanding that the bulk of the potassium
is in the skins.  I've been prescribed baked potatoes with the skin for
balancing out the sodium/potassium when fluid retention has been an
issue...

 ML> I have no independent information on this subject, just saying.

I think trashing things is a national sport, nowadays... ;)  Stevia is
supposed to be better because of coming from a plant source, not a chem
lab...  the R component might be an additive in some commercial versions
of the stevia...?
