No.
that study used sucralose ("Splenda" et al) -- a completely unrelated, artificial sweetener.
Stevia is a naturally occurring plant extract which has steviol glycosides, having 150x the sweetness of sucrose (according to Wikipedia).

Now I'm a little curious what happens to blood insulin when athletes fire down a stevia-flavored source of short chain carbohydrates prior to exercise vs. unflavored. When I have time I'll look it up. The nice thing about this (stevia vs. sugar or vs. artificial sweeteners) is that it lends itself naturally to a two factor design, "natural" vs. not and "real sugar" vs. not, orthogonally.
Anyways, yes, I was wrong about that and will probably fuck it up again in the future, although at least now I'm aware of the problem.
