I think the benifit of stevia has more to do with body pH. This page has a good explanation of it:

http://www.naturalhealthschool.com/acid-alkaline.html

Looking at the table on the bottom of that page you can see that Stevia is the most alkaline sweetner which could be of benifit if you have an acidic being. However if following atkins, looking at other foods in that table, I don't think an acidic pH would be a major concern.

Stevia I read somewhere is also supposed to have a detox type property as well. I'll see if I can dig something up.
