Customer Reviews of NuNaturals NuStevia White Stevia Powder, 1000-Count Box
Customer Review: I HATE THIS PRODUCT SO MUCH, THE MOST VILE WORDS DON'T EVEN BEGIN TOO CONVEY MY PASSION!
Summary: 1 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Excellent Product & Value
Summary: 5 Stars
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!! :)Customer Review: My Favorite Sweetener
Summary: 5 Stars
I was first introduced to stevia by a friend just a few years ago. I now use this sweetener exclusively, after having just worked for almost two years at a local natural foods store. At the time, I did not even know that this type of all-natural sweetener existed. It is an extract (stevia rebaudiana) and is sold in many different types of packaging. My favorite is the small (0.035 oz) purple and white packet. This NuStevia brand is the best so far, and I have tried the liquid, bulk powder, and others but this white powder in the packet is just right. My wife and I use it in coffee, tea, fruit salads, strawberries, and on anything else which has a tart taste. The stevia gives these items a nice, sweet uplift! It will dissolve in either hot or cold drinks readily, which cannot be said for other sweeteners. As a coffee drinker, I have found that one packet gives the taste of one tsp of white sugar (which I have not used in years). I have also started to use soy creamer in coffee, and that makes a nice combination with the NuStevia. I hope to keep adding other natural and organic items to my diet as time progresses. We compared prices and saved over $30 by ordering from Amazon!
Customer Review: NuStevia has become my sweetener of choice.
Summary: 5 Stars
A neighbor of mine, a nurse, recommended that I try Stevia two or three years ago. I researched it and saw a few different types of Stevia, and one company, NuNaturals, talked about how they took the bitter licorice taste out of their Stevia. I also spoke with several people who said that yes, Stevia has an aftertaste you have to get used to. I can't stand licorice. I looked around locally for NuStevia and only found it at a GNC store at $10 for 100 packets. A little expensive, but after the very first time I used it in my morning coffee, I was sold. NuStevia tastes very smooth, almost exactly like sugar. It's not super-sweet like Sweet Thing, NutraSweet, Equal, or Sweet'N Low, and it tastes much better than Splenda does.
I turned my parents on to NuStevia and when I was visiting them in July, I saw that Dad had a box of 1000 packets! He said he had bought the box from Amazon.com, so I came here and bought a 1000-packet box for my wife and me. Outstanding product at an outstanding price!
Customer Review: Tried the no-cal version but this is way better
Summary: 5 Stars
Since discovering Stevia I have become a huge convert. I'm also very interested in the resistance to Stevia by the major artificial sweetener manufacturers (Nutrasweet/Splenda etc). So I've been trying every brand of Stevia I can. This is DEFINITELY the best tasting and most satisfying one. Before buying though, I read the review advising to avoid because of Maltodextrin. So, I went and bought the 1000 pack of the 'calorie-free' version. Big Mistake! It tastes like chemicals and was horrible. I sent it back and am getting this one, the one I loved from the beginning. Yes there is 1gram of carbs in this but it works! Tastes AMAZING, fully satisfying. All other Stevia (sweetleaf, NOW, Wholefoods brand and more) leaves a bitter aftertaste. Not this one. NuStevia you hit a home run with this one. Now to get everyone on board- it's SO much safer than all the artificial sweeteners! Just ask the Peruvian Natives (over 1000 years of use) or the Japanese (millions and millions over 30 years w/no problems!)
