Stick to your Splenda if you eventually want to become very ill as did my wife. Splenda is made by taking two or three OH molecules off of sugar and adding two or three Chlorine molecules making Splenda a “Chlorinated Hydrocarbon.”

Do you have any similar information on “Stevia in the Raw?”

I used Stevia in the Raw the first time I tried stevia, but this summer grew my own plant, harvested the leaves – several at a time – dried them on my kitchen counter and then just crushed them and added them to whatever I wanted sweetened, (tea, cereal, baked apples, etc.). It worked great and I do not notice anything but a very mild after taste that is not bothersome. I’d rather have that than all of the chemicals they use to “extract” the plants sweetness. First time I caught you site think it’s wonderful.

I’m diabetic and I have used Truvia. I like it but its expensive and I just decided to forget sweeteners. I just go without sugar in my white tea and like a poster here said you get used to it. healthier and cheaper too. Why do Americans refuse to eat things unless it tastes like candy or ice cream?

[...] are non-foods; chemical cocktails. Do not use – no debate. Period. Currently stevia (Truvia) or Xylitol (XyloSweet) are relatively more acceptable because they are less processed and made [...]

Yeah! I Love your stuff it comment!
You do what you can to get thru Chemo.
My sister was recently diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, a Non Hodgkins Lymphoma cancer, she may have to undergo Chemo in the future. We need to support each other on this. Best of luck to you.

God Bless

Truvia is also sold at Meijer. Besides adding it to my tea and oatmeal in the morning, I’ve also made an apple pie with it. One packet is equal to two tsps. of sugar. After emptying around 10 packets, I ended up with about a 1/2 cup of sweetner for my pie. The pie was plenty sweet, very good!

I just switched from 5 years of Splenda use to Truvia and really like it. It doesn’t desolve as quickly in cold drinks but thats okay. I would also like to stop using sweetener but I have the perverbial “sweet tooth”. I will make a bigger effort however. Splenda’s lack of long range testing started to make me worry so I’ve stopped using it. Does anyone know of the REAL benefits of drinking V8 products? I know it isn’t related except that I see sucralose as a sweetener in some of those and that is basically splenda. Do V8 products REALLY provide honest benefits?

I’ll stick with regular sugar when I want something sweet. All this artificial stuff is confusing.
