Thanks for the information! I saw an advert for something I realised was a

stevia based sweetener on TV last night, and thought " Ooh, I'll have to look

into that! " - Now I know the ingredients list is of special interest...

to it - as opposed to the much purer stuff which only has inulin fibre or

another has ethritol.

other unecessary ingredients. The thing with Stevia is that it was supposed to

be as near unadulterated plant extract instead of artificial sweetener.

Hi there, yes I have ordered and used this product which i bought from the Internet. i myself don`t like it very much as it has a funny after taste.i have bought some Xylitol from Salisbury's my local store. it is as good as sugar without the problems of sugar. i had to use something as i have candida and can not take sugar, as it feeds the candida and caused me to be giddy with funny head. apparently it is the release of toxins by the candida that is the cause of this. oh well we do get in a mess some times.

Is Splenda any good for this or does it also feed the candida?

angel.

Do you mean stevia, or Splenda?

I use stevia and I like it. I tried the brown powder first, just dried ground

leaf, I think it is. It has a slightly over-powering flavour, a little 'cool'

and licorice-ish.

I now use the liquid extract (contains stevia extract, vegetable glycerin, and

water - that's it). I buy it in the USA, though. I wonder if it will now be

available here in the UK?

My American in-laws don't like it because 'it isn't sweet enough', so if you

like things very sweet, the flavour apparently does come through. I only like

things a bit sweet, though. 2 drops of the liquid in my cocoa does just fine.

If you are talking about Splenda, that would be the chlorine then? Not good for

anyone, I would say.
