1.0 out of 5 starsmisleading as a health product
By anonymous on July 2, 2006
Verified Purchase
This Swanson brand stevia contains rice maltodextrin. I cut sugar out of my diet for health reasons and so I had to find some suitable replacement so I could still occasionally enjoy sweet things and that is how I found out about stevia. I thought I was doing something good for my health by using the stevia but then I found out that different companies mixed different things in with the stevia. It seems to be difficult to find stevia that is pure and not mixed with anything else whatsoever so you have to check around to find the best type of stevia blend. Most companies mix the stevia with something to add "bulk" and to disguise the natural bitter aftertase of stevia. Swanson mixes the stevia with maltodextrin. I was not familiar with that so I looked it up. Apparently, it is even higher on the glycemic index than pure table sugar. In my opinion that entirely defeats the purpose of even using stevia instead of table sugar when they blend it with the maltodextrin. I use Stevita brand "stevia supreme" instead and they mix theirs with erythritol, which has a glycemic rating of about 2 (pure table sugar is 100) and tastes pretty much the same as the Swanson brand stevia.

3.0 out of 5 starsSTEVIA NO ILL HEALTH EFFECTS!
By FOX on March 7, 2005
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!!

5.0 out of 5 starsEXCELLENT SUGAR SUBSTITUTE HAS HEALTH BENEFITS + NO WARNINGS
By Heather L. Parisi on November 18, 2005
This "Swanson Stevia packets" is good stuff and this among the most economical and user-friendly ways to buy Stevia.

WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT:

Sweeter than sugar, that's what Stevia is, but that's not all.

Stevia has been shown to lower blood sugar levels in research involving healthy adults by increasing the secretion of insulin making Stevia useful for diabetics.

It also improves digestion and gastrointestinal function, and is useful for upset stomachs and to reduce gas and stomach acidity. Several recent studies have shown that it may improve the heart's muscle tone and promote the body's water loss. These properties are thought to contribute to lower blood pressure.

Stevia also has antiviral, antimicrobial and antibacterial characteristics. It's used for relieving bleeding gums, sore throats and cold sores in South America and Japan. Stevia has been shown to inhibit plaque formation and bacterial growth causing gum disease and tooth decay, and will not cause cavities. It may even reduce cravings for sweets which coupled with its lack of calories may be helpful in weight loss.

ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE SUGGESTS EVEN MORE:

There is anecdotal evidence that Stevia is good for skin problems like acne, cold sores, dermatitis and eczema, and may speed up the healing of cuts and scratches. There have even been reports that Stevia may be useful as a contraceptive, but that has not yet been substantiated by research.

FDA APPROVAL TO BE SOLD AS A FOOD SUPPLEMENT -- NOT A SWEETENER

Most of all, Stevia, unlike the artificial sweeteners we put in everything from soda to psyllium does not come with any health warnings from the FDA, and it will probably do you no harm.Read more ›

1.0 out of 5 starsBUYER Beware...Warning Will Robinson, Warning !
By Mystical Cynic on July 16, 2006
Verified Purchase
After reading the review that exposed the fact that this product contains rice maltodextrin, (if you don't know what that is and the effects that it has on diabetics...Google it).

I feel really ripped off! I am SURE that that is why this product is always on SALE! They are trying to dump it!!

I only discovered this minor detail after I was getting ready to reorder. It would seem to me that a company like Swanson would have enough sense to know what maltodextrin is, and that they would not sell a product like this to those wishing to control their sugar; (0r at least a WARNING in big RED letters). Of course if that did that, they probably would not sell any of this product since 99.5% of the people that purchase this product do so with that fact in mind.

WARNING: READ ALL LABELS and RESEARCH EVERY PURCHASE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU BUY! Otherwise, the SHARKS will get YOU!
