Guest guest Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Well I just read up on the Truvia and it seems many people are having side effects. I don't think I will be trying it after all. Any ideas if Stevia or Splenda are safe? > > Dale, > > Thank you for the info. I was just talking about going and buying the little packs to put in my tea since I want to cut out sugar. I think I will try that new Truvia (sp) It is suppose to be from a plant. I have always been against the Aspartame products but for some reason was going to cave in and use it. (what was I thinking) Your post was a Godsend. Sorry you had to go through what you did. Its crazy that stuff stays in the system for 6 months. I wonder why? > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I use Splenda and like it very much. It tastes just like sugar to me. I've been using it ever since it came out with no adverse side effects. Truvia has Stevia in it.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Hi...I use " Stevia Raw " ...no maltodextrin or other additives. I like it in many things but start with as little as possible as I have found too much tastes bitter. I remember 12-14 years ago they were talking about the Stevia Plant used as sweetner and 'someday' we would be able to get it at our grocery stores. Someday came.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Cheryle, What do you mean when you say you use " stevia raw " ? Can I get it in packets to put in my tea? > > > > Hi...IÂ use " Stevia Raw " ...no maltodextrin or other additives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I used Stevia in the late 80's in place of aspartame. It is about 3000 times sweeter than cane sugar so I had to use sparingly. In it's natural form, it is a fine ground powder from the stevia leaves. You can find stevia in packets at the health food stores such as Whole Foods. Dale Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
