I prefer the Sweetleaf brand as well. Truvia contains Stevia and “Natural Flavors” meaning there is no telling what other 2000 ingredients are in the product.

“it is a natural herb that provides a potent sweet taste without any calories or any chemical crap that you will find in artificial sweeteners.”

I don’t know where people get the idea that if something is produced by a plant is must not be an evil chemical. Everything is made of chemicals when you get right down to it.

Look, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebaudioside

My point is not to make everyone freak out about stevia but to point out that anything artificial isn’t automatically bad.

I’ve been using Truvia and think it’s great. It doesn’t have the bitter after-taste that Stevia does. I don’t buy diet soda because of the bad rep the other artificial sweeteners are getting, but I might reconsider if they use Truvia or PurVia.

I like stevia also more as a liquid than a powder form and I do not like the after taste, I found the liquid stevia better. I have to fool mny brain that this is good for me

Love the flavor of Truvia and PureVia. Stevia has too many different strengths and it can be harsh!!

I have not tried those brands but I love Stevia! I use Sweetleaf brand. They have easy to use serving size packets as well as flavored liquid Steivia which I use in my coffee, tea and smoothies. They are wonderful!
