Customer Reviews
Avoid. Contains maltodextrin...
This contains maltodextrin, which has a glycemic index (GI) of 137. Refined white cane sugar has a GI of 100.
Therefore, at 15 mg, the effect on your blood glucose and insulin is the same as if this stevia was mixed with 21% pure white sugar.
Not good enough for me. Try Stevita or SweetLeaf brands, they don't contain anything that will spike your blood sugar like this brand.
I HATE THIS PRODUCT SO MUCH, THE MOST VILE WORDS DON'T EVEN BEGIN TOO CONVEY MY PASSION!
I brought this stuff thinking it was Pure Stevia. If I had wanted Stevia mixed with sugar I would have searched for stevia mixed with sugar. This garbage is being sold as Stevia when in fact it is NOT just stevia it is Stevia with Maltodextrin is not only a sugar but it usually is associated with MSG in its matabolism in your body. In short if you are looking to Stevia as a healthy alternative to sugar this crap is not it. This mess is just a lying sack of toxic garbage trading on the good healthy name of Stevia just to trick healthy conscious custsomers to buy sugary junk food. This product is a TRICK not a Treat and if you are a diabetic the trick is one that could cost your health. I wrote the FDA about the false marketing associated with this product of course the FDA is doing what it does best which is NOTHING!
I WOULD NOT BE SO MAD EXCEPT I NEEDED A SUGAR SUBSTITUTE THAT MEANS, SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY FORM OF SUGAR. THE PACKAGE SAYS CLEARLY SAYS SUGARS = 0% The presence of Maltodextrin clearly shows the Sugars = 0 is a big fat lie. I do not say that this crap should not be sold. Clearly there might be a market for it. But it is marketed as White Stevia Powder which is a lie. In truth this crap is White Stevia powder and Maltodextrin a big difference. Where is the FDA here. Why is this company being allowed to lie about the sugars in their product. Maltodextrin is a sugar. Maltodextrin elevated my sugar count and as a diabetic person I do not care for garbage that proclaims itself "White Stevia Powder" Without indicating clearly that it also contains a version of sugar!
This is a lying sack of garbage you need to avoid at all costs if you are a diabetic. This mess does nothing but shoot your glocose numbers into the heavens and beyond. I think its wrong that Amazon markets this crap as Stevia instead of Stevia with Maltodextrin.
The BEST tasting
I have tried Sweetleaf Stevia Plus and their more concentrated no filler added version, and Stevia Supreme. I thought the Sweetleaf brand tasted like Sweet N' Low, including aftertaste. I use Stevia Supreme only in my coffee or strong flavored drinks like lemonade. I did not like it in hot or iced tea or used on top of foods, like cereal due to the similar aspartame taste.This AM I tried this product and I am amazed and forever converted. This is definitely the best of the 4 for flavor and sweetening ability (DO NOT use a whole packet in 12 oz.coffee as it is VERY sweet). I plan to spread the word to all who are still using Splenda or real sugar as this IS the product to use.
