Stevia?

After the Soft Drink and "Real Sugar" Threads I thought:

- I am somewhat addicted to some Soft Drinks (seems I need Cola and Red Bull to survive) but actually allergic to the Sugar-Free counterparts (I guess Saccharin and Aspartam).

I recently read about Stevia (which is banned in the EU) being hip in the States (and according to Wikipedia also sold in AU, HK, UAE - pretty much anywhere ex-eu on my next trip ^)

Maybe that would be an alternative for me to prepare sweet drinks such as iced tea myself, without getting sick or too fat...

Do you like it?

In what form is it sold? Tablets (like coffee sweetener), Powder, Liquid?

Any certain brand names, or could I just ask for Stevia in the next best Target, Walmart etc.?

Thanks
