Fruit sugar has a lower GI than cane sugar so if you are sugar sensitive (I.e. find sugar addictive, feel up and then down/anxious after you have eaten it) then fruit sugar may help (it helps me) . It has the same calorie content as normal sugar so it wont really help (although it is a little sweeter so it may help you reduce the amount a little)

Well yeah because they have that fruit sugar alternatives out now which are meant to be better for you because they are fruit 0.o

As for sweeteners - it tricks your brain in to thinking you are having sugar, so it goes threw the whole process to get ready to use it, when no sugar happens because it is a sweetener not a sugar your body then craves something to eat, mainly something sugary to then be able to use the insulin it just produced for the sugar, which you never even consumed - thus making you want to or over eat.

Um. I'm pretty sure that "fruit sugar" works the same as sweeteners in that aspect. How could stevia, a natural occurring plant, trick your brain anymore than a banana? Your argument doesn't make sense.

Not at all - the difference is that 'fruit sugar' much like cane sugar is not completely man made in a lab where as sweeteners are which is why i wont go near them if i can help it and apart from that sweeteners are not sugar, but fruit sugar is sugar...

No. No. Stevia is not made in a lab. It's completely natural. If you were as educated on "sugar" as you think you are, you'd know that.

I think if you're going to try and question my intelligence you should use it with facts and logical information, not try and batter people for asking a simple question, not only that but a lot of people on this site have extremely low self esteem - me being one of them so i would appreciate if you did not try and talk to me as if i was stupid - which i am not. Apart from that i have been perfectly pleasant with you so i don't know exactly what you get out of that comment.

At no point did i mention a brand, maybe i was not aware of the one you were referring to - did you think of that at all? No because obviously i just have no intelligence otherwise i would know all brands wouldn't i? You know because intelligence means you know all and everything,
I don't understand why someone would sit on a forum, especially one for people who are trying to better themselves and just put them down like that.

Although i am not an aggressive or demeaning person, so because you have mentioned this product is natural i will look in to it, because everything i eat i look for logical and evidence for it, i spent too many years putting goodness knows what in to my body, which im sure a lot of people will understand.

Stevia is not a brand. It is a sweetener that is extracted from the herb stevia. It is an all natural zero calorie sweetener that can be used in place of sugar. There are several brands of stevia available in both powdered and liquid forms, and some brands offer stevia with natural flavours like vanilla and chocolate. I prefer organic stevia. One brand, Truvia is a mixture of stevia and sugar giving a caloric value 85% less than sugar alone. This blend is used for baking. Some folks don't care for the taste of stevia so it is something you just have to try for yourself to see if you like it or not.

Sounds interesting, never heard of it, i still have not looked it up but i shall do, although it doesn't sound like something i would usually use if i am honest
