A Sampling of Stevia Products

The Coca-cola Truvia products are not pure Stevia. They altered the Stevia with a chlorine molecule, much like what they did with Splenda. I use the regular liquid stevia....it is expensive, but you don't need to use much and it is much better for you in the long run. I use it to sweeten my coffee, tea, and anything else that I used to use Splenda for.

At present, stevia extract is more popular than before. Coca-cola and Pepsi have marketed their new products with stevia in it. Not only for its zero-calorie, natural, sweeteness, but also for its function of halting DNA damage. Halting DNA damage is also a key to longevity.
During the recently concluded Stevia World Americas conference, global market research companies Mintel and SPINS predicted that the global Stevia market would touch US$10 billion next year.

Do you have any info re: "Stevia Extract." It is being sold in Las Vegas at the present time, but I did not see it on your list of stevia products.

My 14 year old has type 1. We have tried using splenda, but all the bad publicity it has been getting worries me. Sugar is only 4 grams of carbs per teaspoon. I live in a rural area and have not seen stevia advertised anywhere. When will it be approved by the JDRF, and will it benefit both type 1 and 2? I am starting to think this all a big scam to get us the consumers to buy what the advertisers want us to buy, (power of suggestion), we have gone back to using sugar, just not as much, and the child is doing just fine.

I HAVE TRIED THE SPOONABLE STEVIA PACKETS FROM "STEVITA" AND I LOVE IT. I READ ABOUT THE OTHER SWEETNERS AND HOW DANGEROUS THEY ARE, WITH ASPERTAME IN EVERYTHING I STOPPED BUYING DIET DRINKS. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING STEVIA IN EVERYTHING. A BOX OF 50 PACKS IS 3.25 NOT MUCH MORE THAN SWEET&LOW OR SPLENDA WHICH HAS ASPERTAME IN IT, WHICH I DO NOT WANT TO CONSUME.
THANK GOD WE HAVE SOMEHTING SAFE INSTEAD OF SOME OF THE OTHER UNNATURAL STUFF TRYING TO KILL US FOR THE SAKE OF BIG MONEY.

You can get stevia in health food stores because it's been marketed for years as a dietary supplement.
I'm a US citizen who lives abroad. I'm also an insulin dependent diabetic (different from people who get it at an older age).
I had a friend get me two boxes of stevia packets when he was in Canada. My version has a small aftertaste but I use it in things like homemade yogurt and it's okay in that. I just tend not to use sweetners in drinks anymore. The one exception is fruit teas and in those I usually use Splenda.
