A member asked:
Is stevia safer than similar products at the grocery store? is stevia from different companies very different, or the same?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
All the same: All of the artificial sweeteners are about the same. The decision should be based upon taste, and whether you need to use it in cooking, as some can't be heated.
