FDA Approves Stevia Natural Sweetener in Truvia and PureVia but not Stevia Extract, Plant, Powder Whole Food

My Opinion: GREAT article. I personally love stevia, I discovered it while in Ecuador and brought home some of the dried leaf which I put in tea. This form is difficult to find (though I did find it at People's Co-op in OB) and I branched out to Whole Food's 365 brand of the powdered form. I love this brand, it doesn't leave any bitter aftertaste and it's not partly sugar like the Truvia and PureVia products are. I originally tested out the Truvia and PureVia brands and they are not pure and not good tasting.

  1. For me, aspartame has always caused problems. I don't understand why the FDA didn't ban it many years ago.

    I don't seem to have any problems with Splenda/sucralose, but I usually try to buy stevia from Amazon or Whole Foods.
