Customer Reviews of NuNaturals NuStevia White Stevia Powder, 1000-Count Box
Customer Review: Stevia stands up
Summary: 4 Stars
I've used Sweet & Low, Equal, Splenda and Stevia. I've heard really bad things about Equal and Splenda so I stopped using them. Additionally, I heard Sweet & Low caused cancer in rats. Sweet & Low was never pulled from the shelves because it was established that millions of people used it for several years with no problems. It was deemed safest of the 3 big sellers.
When Stevia arrived on the scene, it received a great, many excellent reviews, except it didn't taste very good -- so NuNaturals came out with a non-bitter version of Stevia. It was quite expensive until I encountered it at Amazon.com. The price is right and Stevia has, at this point in time, joined the ranks as one of the safest. I've enjoyed the new and improved version and rate it 4 stars because I wish it were as sweet as Sweet & Low.
Customer Review: Sugar trading on the Stevia name
Summary: 1 Stars
Unfortunately, this product only has 80mg of Stevia per 1g of powder. If you can do a little math, that means it's only 8% Stevia! How they can sell this as "white stevia powder" is beyond me.
There are a lot of reviews about how this tastes so much better than regular Stevia. Apparently, these people don't realize they are eating a sugar (maltodextrin) product. If 8% is stevia, the other 92% must be maltodextrin, though they don't bother to tell you this on the package.
The box claims that it will "not raise blood sugar levels," which is not true. It will spike your blood sugar because of the maltodextrin (duh!).
In addition, this product causes diarrhea, which I learned the hard way.
DO NOT BUY!
Customer Review: Excellent Product!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was hesitant to purchase this product because of previous reviews, but being unhappy with the taste of my "blue packet" stevia, I gave NuStevia a try. I am so glad I did. I had been using 3 packets of the "blue" packet stevia (yes, I have a sweet tooth, or better yet fang) in a large mug of tea. The NuStevia has a wonderful taste and I use half the amount, only one and a half packets per large mug. When I received the box, I did notice an unusual oder and feared I'd made a mistake, but there is absolutely no off taste to it at all. I think it wise to try the smaller, boxed quantity first to make sure your taste and mine are on the same page, but I love this stevia, and feel it is the very best I've tried. I don't think we'll get better than this.Customer Review: 5 star taste, 1 star on blood sugar :(
Summary: 2 Stars
I do not have Diabetes, but I do monitor my blood sugar with a high end One Touch Ultrasmart glucose monitor. I can verify unwanted spikes in my blood sugar using this product. This is very dangerous to those who are watching sugar intake. I think a person should choose and use wisely. I love the taste, but am shocked at how high of a spike I get to my blood sugar after 1 cup or tea or coffee with an avg of 1.5 packs.
I'm cutting down to 1 pack max. I have been very anti-artificial sweetener lately because of false claims and side affects. I think I am going to stick with Splenda.
Please be careful using any artificial sweeteners, especially those not approved by the FDA.
Customer Review: The BEST tasting
Summary: 5 Stars
I have tried Sweetleaf Stevia Plus and their more concentrated no filler added version, and Stevia Supreme. I thought the Sweetleaf brand tasted like Sweet N' Low, including aftertaste. I use Stevia Supreme only in my coffee or strong flavored drinks like lemonade. I did not like it in hot or iced tea or used on top of foods, like cereal due to the similar aspartame taste.This AM I tried this product and I am amazed and forever converted. This is definitely the best of the 4 for flavor and sweetening ability (DO NOT use a whole packet in 12 oz.coffee as it is VERY sweet). I plan to spread the word to all who are still using Splenda or real sugar as this IS the product to use.
