I have spent the last year, after a long discussion with nutritionist friend, doing some strong reading on artificial sweeteners, ingredients, and FDA testing results.

I won't bore you with all of that as it's certainly easy enough to get with a few hits of google, but suffice it to say there is STRONG evidence that we should be concerned with other sweeteners; even the most populara ones were refused by the FDA many times before (**cough, cough**, lobbyists) they were passed. And with very interesting results in health later.

Even Splenda, which says it's made from sugar, is processed and bleached rendering it unnatural.

That said, even though I am always concerned about a healty weight, I had concern about using stevia...not because of health...its totally natural and shows no ill effects (it's about to be used in all the major diet sodas in replacement of artificial calorie free sweeteners) but because the early stevia on the market had a licorice taste.

Well, that's been corrected...

big fan of stevia. I think it's a strong threat to any other calorie-free sweetner and could vastly improve some health issues. Plus the fact that many new studies show other no calorie sweetners can cause real sugar cravings. I debate if this has happened with me...I sometimes think it has though when I have a diet coke.

stevia is now a staple in our tea and coffee!

I like that this one is 95% steviosides. There are no fillers to contend with. And, of course, it's nice and sweet.

I used to purchase the Stevia Plus product. However, I found it to sometimes get clumpy and hard in the packets, making it hard to mix in my tea.

I saw this product advertised, so I tried it. It tastes great and I have so far had none of the issues I experienced with the Stevia Plus product. I highly recommend Simply Stevia.

The teeny packets are a little awkward, but other than that it's perfect in my beverages.

This is a handy product because it is so convenient to carry in you wallet or pocket for access to a good sweetner. I have to mention though, even though it says no bitter after taste, that licorice taste is still there.

I don't like the taste as well as Splenda, but I can use it. I also bought a liquid Stevia product to try, and I like the taste of it much better than the powder.

I was trying to replace spenda in my diet. This sweetner left me with a nausiating feeling. I didn't return it, but did throw it away. It may have been the concentration of this product, but I couldn't get the right amount right in my coffee or oatmeal

My daughter researched and found stevia. It is hard to believe that most people have never heard of it. I got the boxes of 100 to pass out to my friends and family. I love it and it is much better for me than artificial sweetener or sugar.

Looking for an alternative for Splenda, I found Truvia in my local grocery store. Truvia is granular like sugar, sweetens well, and even causes Strawberries to produce Juice--something that Splenda, Equal and others do not do.

So I searched for Truvia on Amazon and found this product as well. I ordered a box and just tried it. Yuck! It is a fine powder, not a granular substance; the packets are very tiny and hold very little substance. It is difficult to dispense over a quantity of food (like a bowl of Strawberries), and gives the food a bitter taste like Saccharine.

I'll be heading to the store for Truvia soon!

It is hard to describe this product. It is sweet, but not overpowering like those 'fake' sugars. Works well as a sweetener, with one small limitation. Because so little is required, it is difficult to work with. I use about a half of a packet for a tea, which makes it plenty sweet. However, half of almost nothing is hard to measure.

It is worth a try.
