    Truvia and PureVia are not 100% stevia. They also contain erythrytol, which is another sugar alcohol.
    I saw that when I looked into those…
    I want the 100% pure stuff… None of that processed cr*p :laugh:

    I tried the 100% stevia and couldn't stand the taste--yuk! While I recognize that Truvia is not 100% stevia, it's still more natural than Splenda and it tastes very good in my coffee and tea. I am sorely tempted to go back to Splenda because it tastes just as good and it's much cheaper, but I am trying hard to go a more natural route when I can.

    I use truvia in my coffee and love it.I drink diet soda also so artifical does not bother me,I just hate the way it tastes in coffee.
    I love the truvia even though it is a bit pricey.

    I use Stevia everyday....

    I have learned to use HALF the amount I would've used with regular sugar.... its still very sweet but you wont get the after taste

    I have used it b4 and it has an after taste. The sugar that I am currenlty using as of this week is Xylitol. There is no after taste. This is what Jillian from the biggest loser uses

    I use Stevia and Truvia and they are both very good! My mother has them in little individual packets which are easy to take on the go!

    I, too, use both Stevia and Truvia. I prefer Stevia in the liquid form. It usually comes in one of those dropper type bottles. I find that Truvia leaves a slight after taste, but not too bad. I sometimes make a huge batch of regular tea and sweeten it with Stevia and it tastes exactly (to me at least) like a sweet tea from McDonalds. : )

    I love it. I use a Truvia packet in my coffee and in plain greek yogurt. It is delicious and has no aftertaste.
