I've been using NuNaturals Clear Stevia for several years, and it's my favorite Stevia for several reasons. First, the plastic carrying bottle and squeeze delivery system makes it great for carrying in my purse or pocket and using it at restaurants. I bought one brand that I had to shake to get one drop to come out. That got old quickly. Second, it doesn't have a funny after taste like some of the other brands I tried. Third, it's clear and thin liquid, not dark and syrupy which is more appealing and less messy to use. Fourth, every powder that I tried clumped in my beverages and liquids, where this just blends in without any effort. I also use it for sweetening dessert recipes, both baked and unbaked. Previously I purchased it off the shelf at GNC but they stopped carrying it, so now I order it online, buying 4 at a time to stay stocked up. By far the best Stevia I've ever used.

I refuse to use the artificial "sweeteners" ever since reading Dr Russell Blaylocks excellent book "Excitotoxins; The taste that kills". I had tried other brands of stevia after hearing that it was an all natural alternative to these noncaloric sweeteners, but just didn't care for the taste. This brand is as close to sugar as I have gotten in a non-calorie item. I am a fan of raw agave as well because it has a low glycemic count, but it has rather high calories and therefore, I use it judiciously. I have been using nunaturals brand for years now and i absolutely lOVE it. As a previous poster noted, it doesn't clump and it is easy to pack in a purse or backpack and it lasts forever. My mate and I often use a leaf of peppermint from the garden and ten to fifteen drops of stevia for a light beverage and it is so satisfying. He also really likes it with lemon and lime slices. You will of course have to adjust it to your taste preferences. I have a friend who only likes to use a drop in her tea while we always want at least five in ours. Experiment and find your happy place and enjoy .

Unlike Aspartame (Equal/NutraSweet) or Sucralose (Splenda) or Acesulfame-K or any of the other dangerous chemicals that have been put in just about every food and drink nowadays, even GUM and vitamins, STEVIA is the natural extract of a sweet leaf.

Stevia has been used for THOUSANDS of years without ANY bad health or side effects.

Until just recently, Japan had a LAW that no artificial sweetener could be used in ANY food or drink! When you bought a DIET COKE in Japan, it used to have STEVIA in it! Unfortunately, now they too have been forced to put Aspartame in their soft drinks.

Stevia not only is safe for diabetics, but is actually GOOD for diabetics and helps diabetes! It does not promote tooth decay, and even though the FDA admits it is safe enough for it to be on store shelves, they will only allow it so long as Stevia does NOT say it is a sweetener, the US law says Stevia has to be called a "nutritional supplement" to satisfy the big money corperations that make Aspartame and Sucralose that pay good money to make sure the FDA does not allow any competition!

I was researching this for many years when trying to find a sugar substitute for my diabetic family member. I myself don't like the taste of Stevia because it has too much a taste of licorice, and I don't want everything I sweeten to taste like licorice. Other than that, this would be perfect and solve all sugar free problems.

So far, I have found nothing that is as good as sugar, and sugar is all I use, but for people that come over that want sugar free sweeteners, all I offer in my home is Stevia.

Not Equal, Not Sacharin.

You will never see any WARNING labels on Stevia as you do on all the other "sweeteners" that the FDA approves!!
