Written by | published on

Stevia is available in all forms and combinations... often you don't realize before you take a look at the label that it was literally diluted with fillers and other sweeteners such as erythritol etc. Moreover, no one can reliably tell you if the exclusion of the "bitter stuff" and reliance on Rebaudioside A, exclusively, doesn't nullify some of the previously described health benefits of the whole plant. I was just about to simply add the results of a recent study to your daily dose of research news on " FB/SuppVersity ", when it occurred to me that it has been suspiciously quiet on the sweetener front , lately - specifically when it comes to stevia, a sweetener of which many people claim that it was "natural"...
