This contains maltodextrin, which has a glycemic index (GI) of 137. Refined white cane sugar has a GI of 100.Therefore, at 15 mg, the effect on your blood glucose and insulin is the same as if this stevia was mixed with 21% pure white sugar.Not good enough for me. Try Stevita or SweetLeaf brands, they don't contain anything that will spike your blood sugar like this brand.

Like the others, I have used every artificial sweetner out there: Sweet 'N' Low (back when there was no other choice), then Equal when it was the "big thing", and finally Splenda when it was deemed to be a derivative of sugar and alledgely "safer" than the others. I have since been told by many people that none of these products are ultimately safe, and tried Stevia a couple years back when it came in a green package (Sweat Leaf Brand). I was disappointed with the bitterness, and abandoned it until recently when I saw the NuNatural brand at Whole Foods and my interest in my health became a priority. They had free samples, so I took one. I also took the Whole Foods brand sample for comparison. The NuNatural brand was (and is) amazing. I was skeptical and pleasantly surprised. The Whole Foods brand was "OK", and a nice runner-up. At $10 a box at Whole Foods (for 100 packets) for NuNatural, I was willing to spend the money for the benefit of my health, but recently found that my Whole Foods locally has not carried the packets for a couple of weeks. This brought me to my search online. The web site for NuNatural sells this product for about $70 for a box of 1000. Now I have found this product on line for (effectively) less than $4 per box of 100 here at this site. Yay! This product is worth the money. I look forward to the FDA moving it from the "GRAS (generally recognized as safe)" category to a full fledged approved additive that can be used in "lite" and "diet" food products. Buy this product and you will not be disappointed. And, I swear I do not work for the company!! :)

I brought this stuff thinking it was Pure Stevia. If I had wanted Stevia mixed with sugar I would have searched for stevia mixed with sugar. This garbage is being sold as Stevia when in fact it is NOT just stevia it is Stevia with Maltodextrin is not only a sugar but it usually is associated with MSG in its matabolism in your body. In short if you are looking to Stevia as a healthy alternative to sugar this crap is not it. This mess is just a lying sack of toxic garbage trading on the good healthy name of Stevia just to trick healthy conscious custsomers to buy sugary junk food. This product is a TRICK not a Treat and if you are a diabetic the trick is one that could cost your health. I wrote the FDA about the false marketing associated with this product of course the FDA is doing what it does best which is NOTHING!I WOULD NOT BE SO MAD EXCEPT I NEEDED A SUGAR SUBSTITUTE THAT MEANS, SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY FORM OF SUGAR. THE PACKAGE SAYS CLEARLY SAYS SUGARS = 0% The presence of Maltodextrin clearly shows the Sugars = 0 is a big fat lie. I do not say that this crap should not be sold. Clearly there might be a market for it. But it is marketed as White Stevia Powder which is a lie. In truth this crap is White Stevia powder and Maltodextrin a big difference. Where is the FDA here. Why is this company being allowed to lie about the sugars in their product. Maltodextrin is a sugar. Maltodextrin elevated my sugar count and as a diabetic person I do not care for garbage that proclaims itself "White Stevia Powder" Without indicating clearly that it also contains a version of sugar!This is a lying sack of garbage you need to avoid at all costs if you are a diabetic. This mess does nothing but shoot your glocose numbers into the heavens and beyond. I think its wrong that Amazon markets this crap as Stevia instead of Stevia with Maltodextrin.
