It is Stevia Extract in the Raw. I have been using it for the last 6 months and love it! I tried Truvia and it taste similliar but it does not have Erithrytol like Trivia does and it was alot less expensive. <i>Thanks Jen! The only problem with this "in the raw" product is it contains dextrose--SUGAR! --Jimmy</i> There is a product also out there that does not get mentioned enough because they don\’t have deep pockets like Cargill.

Thanks Jen! The only problem with this “in the raw” product is it contains dextrose–SUGAR!

Hopefully Vernors will go back to it's original formula.

As I understand it from http://www.steviazone.org/stevia-still-banned-fda.html , Stevia is technically still banned by the FDA because Truvia (Rebiana) is only part of the constituents of Stevia: Rebaudioside A. But yes, I think you're right in saying that the FDA can't possibly be holding back Stevia much longer with this decision.. <i>I don't believe in willpower, Stephen. Just a steadfast resolve to make the best choices for your health. You're right, technically it's just Rebiana that's been approved, not stevia. But that's like saying they approve of air...you just can't breathe it. Full endorsement is to come! --Jimmy</i> Hi Jimmy – you sure have willpower man, congratulations!
