Is stevia in raw sugar be good/better or beneficial?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No different: It's just sugar and just calories. No better, no worse, just more expensive and advertised a lot.

Stevia in the Raw: Stevia is an herbal sweetener (made from stevia leaf extract) that has no calories. It's also not a synthetic sugar substitute like aspartame, saccharine, or sucralose. Some feel that stevia has an "aftertaste, " so you'll need to experiment and see if you do. The "raw" product seems to be more sugar-like in taste than truvia or other more processed products. http://tinyurl.com/k3oygxg.
