I'm glad I found this! I just picked up a 4-pack of SweetLeaf and wasn't sure if there were limits on it. I'm almost afraid to try it! lol

3 individual packets per day is the limit, as with any other sweeteners.

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"

Default Re: Stevia question

I used Stevia for my coffee a few years back. I used to buy it @ Trader Joe's. I liked it a lot. Then Trader joe's started selling a different brand that I didn't like. The texture was different. I couldn't find it anywhere else so I started back on Splenda. I have researched Splenda vs. Stevia extensively and what I have learned is this: No studies have found that changes Stevia sugar levels. Some studies found Splenda changed sugar levels in diabetic patients. The levels were extreme enough that 40% of patients could not use Splenda. Stevia did not change levels in those same patients. That is a summation of several articles.
Persoanally, I need more than 3 packets a day, for coffee and some other things that I would normally put some sugar in. I'll hope for the best. Good Luck to you, V

Default Re: Stevia question

I have both stevia and splenda packets and liquid stevia drops. Per the brands/packages I have, about 4 drops of liquid stevia would equal 1 packet of splenda.

The splenda box states that one packet is equal in sweetness to 2 tsp of sugar. The liquid stevia drops (sweetleaf steviaclear) label states that 2 drops would be as sweet as 1 tsp of sugar, so 4 drops should equal the splenda packet and would be a serving, in my book. I also count the stevia packets as one serving each.

You might find better info on your liquid stevia label - I believe the different brands may require slightly different amounts of drops to make the sweetness of one packet of artificial sweetener.
