Stevia & Sugar A Plastic Bag With Nozzle. WHERE?
About a one kilo plastic bag (sort of thick) with a threaded little spout, Stevia Y Azucar. In Spanish. But I forgot where I bought it (about a year
ago).
If anyone else has come across this stuff please reply and I'll know it wasn't a one one-shot fluke.

bags, different sizes. google it. Hope this helps you.

I have high blood sugar and use the Truvia brand up here in the states. It comes in a plastic bag with a screw on cap that allows the product to be
poured.

David,
Are you sure that Stevia was packaged with sugar? That seems to defeat the purpose of using Stevia. Stevia is a sugar substitute. It is used widely by
Cancer patients and Diabetics. It is very well respected.
--Deborah Kurzrock, R.D.Deborah Kurzrock, R.D.Registered DietitianMills-Peninsula Health Services
" Stevia is a sugar substitute. It is made from the stevia herb, a plant that is native to northeast Paraguay and a member of the chrysanthemum
family. Stevia is currently grown in many places including Brazil, Japan, China, India, Mexico and Colombia. Stevia has been consumed in other
countries outside the United States for decades. Stevia is 30 times sweeter than sugar in its unprocessed form and 250-300 times sweeter once it has
been purified. Products made from Stevia include Sweetleaf and Truvia and they contain zero calories. Truvia offers a conversion chart on its Web site
for cooking and baking purposes. For example, 3/4 teaspoon(tsp) Truvia = 2 tsps sugar.
The World Health Organization and the US food and Drug Administration have deemed purified Stevia products safe in moderate amounts. The FDA has
not approved whole leaf or crude stevia as food additives because of concerns about possible health effects. In particular, the FDA has concerns about
the effects of Stevia on blood sugar control, the kidneys, and the cardiovascular and reproductive systems.
Stevia is now added to many beverages manufactured by the Coca-Cola company. Stevia is used in gum, yogurt, pickles, dried seafood, condiments,
fish, meat, vegetables and confectionaries.
One benefit of Stevia use is that in using it instead of sugar, less calories are consumed, so it could be helpful in a weight loss plan. Stevia
is not recommended to be consumed in an amount that there would be any nutritional benefits to its use."

Yes, they add a little sugar, not much. They advertise it for baking. If you have ever used Splenda for baking it is awful. So both Splenda and
Truvia have added a small amount of sugar to improve the bake-ability
