(More customer reviews)In a world filled with artificial colors, artificial flavors, artificial preservatives, and artificial sweeteners, it is refreshing to find an all natural product like SweetLeaf SteviaPlus.
SweetLeaf SteviaPlus is well packaged and very convenient to use. All it takes is 1 or 2 packets to sweeten up a cup of coffee (depending on your tastes). You can easily take the packets with you when you travel. It tastes great. It is sweeter than sugar, so the packets only have a tiny amount of powder in them. I find that SweetLeaf SteviaPlus tastes very similar to sugar, but has its own unique flavor. There is a very slight licorice aftertaste that some people may notice. I happen to like licorice so this is not a problem for me. SweetLeaf SteviaPlus goes very well with coffee and tea.
Like most other people, I have on occasion tried the other artificial low/no calorie sweeteners that are common place: saccharin, aspartame (NutraSweet), sucralose (Splenda), etc.
Let's compare the low/no calorie sweeteners available.
Saccharin has been used for over 100 years. It has stood the test of time. It was invented back in 1879. It has been reported to possibly cause cancer in rats, however many studies have shown its use is not linked to cancer in human beings. Today it is considered a very safe sweetener by many organizations world wide. There are little reports of side effects. I haven't noticed any ill effects from this man made chemical, however because it has an aspirin-like aftertaste, I don't use it much.
Aspartame (marketed as NutraSweet, Equal, etc. and available in many soft drinks), in my opinion, tastes more like sugar than saccharin. However, aspartame makes me feel a little dizzy, sluggish, cloudy headed, and causes me to get digestive problems so I cannot use it. The reason most diet soft drink companies use as little aspartame as possible is because too many people complain of side effects when larger amounts are used. In 1995, FDA Epidemiology Branch Chief, Thomas Wilcox reported that aspartame complaints represented 75% of all reports of adverse reactions to substances in the food supply from 1981 to 1995. There are many conflicting reports about the safety of this chemical.
Sucralose (marketed as Splenda) is the latest man made no calorie chemical sweetener to hit the market place. Sucralose does taste more like sugar than any other low/no calorie sweetener I've tasted. I think it tastes almost exactly like sugar. However, sucralose causes me to get very bad stomach pains, so I cannot use it. Stomach pain is just one of the commonly known side effects of ingesting sucralose.
SweetLeaf SteviaPlus contains Stevia. Stevia is an ancient all natural no calorie sweetener extracted from a plant native to Paraguay. According to several sources, in South America it has been used safely for over 1500 years. It is just starting to get popular in the US. Stevia is very popular in Japan where it has been used for over 30 years as a sweetener commercially to make many foods. According to extensive tests done in Japan, Japan considers Stevia to be safe for human consumption as a sweetener. In the US, the FDA has approved Stevia as a supplement only. Many thousands of people use Stevia everyday with no adverse reactions to it. Some individuals with allergies to plants in the daisy family may be sensitive to Stevia. You should always exercise caution when adding anything new to your diet especially if you have known allergies.
