Erythritol is 99% of the product you purchase on the shelves. what is erythritol? sugar alcohol. Not to mention truvia is owned by Cargill who has been pumping its consumers full of harmful chemicals for years, why would they stop now?

I prefer the health food versions rather than the supermarket version because of it's superior quality but the product is fantastic and I recommend it to everyone. stevia as I know it in Oz is the best ‘sugar’ – I love it.

One is "98% REBAUDIOSIDE A", 300 x sweeter than sugar, for which they claim: "Rebaudioside A, one of the many glycosides in Stevia leaf, is extracted using proprietary extraction technique, to eliminate any bitterness or aftertaste". The other is "90% STEVIOSIDE", 150 x sweeter than sugar, for which they claim: "Stevioside is extracted with the application of enzyme biotechnology, thus eliminating the strong bitter aftertaste. And making it feasible to use Stevia commercially as an alternate option to sugar". And for both, they state: "It is white in colour & has absolutely no aftertaste or bitterness of any kind whatsoever". Thus, it seems that taste need not be an issue - providing the refiner has access to appropriate extraction technology. I found all the information above from their website at: http://biosweet.googlepages.com/products on 27 July 2009. For the record, I have no affiliation with this or any other company producing stevia; and to the best of my knowledge, at present I have no investments in companies involved with stevia in any way. However, if this kind of technology fulfils its promise regarding taste, that could soon change! Regards, YA. Re the taste of Stevia:
