The welcome or unwelcome appearance of Stevia sweetener in UK

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I have been using Stevia to sweeten my tea and other stuff since I read about it

on here sometime last year and I know that some of you use it on the hCG diet.

I have had to buy it off the internet but noted that it is starting to be

advertised over here and Tesco now sell it.

Until I read the ingred - they are still adding 'sweetener' and maltodextrin to

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

has ethritol.

Typically, the very things that we try to avoid are added to and messed up by

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

be as near unadulterated plant extract instead of artificial sweetener.

Oh well - rant over.

Not sure this should go on this bit so apols if not.
