In the U.S., Stevia is starting to become more popular. How is it in the UK?

Hi
to my knowledge Stevia is banned in the European Union. I believe it is sometimes labelled as 'herbal ingredient' for dental hygiene, but I don't think it is very widely known.

Stevia, the natural sweetener used by many as a healthy alternative to aspartame, is now better than ever.
