SweetLeaf Stevia Packets 70 Count (Pack of 3)

Until now, I've been getting this at my local grocery - paying over $4 for a 35-count box, so for me, this is $25 worth of product. This is a great deal!! As for the product itself, I use a lot of it and never experience any side effects, even though I'm essentially getting about 8-12 packs a day. I am a recent cancer survivor and professional writer. When I recently was asked to write about aspartame (NutraSweet - which I drank in excess) and found out that the body converts it to formaldehyde, I was disgusted. Everything in it is digested into poison. It's a really disgusting and unhealthy process. I knew I needed a better solution, and tea is my drink of choice. Now, instead of powdered tea (generic Crystal Light), I brew fresh tea, sweeten it by the cup, and add a little real lemon juice. To get the powder to blend, I pour about 1 1/2-2 oz of the tea into a small cup and heat in the microwave for 45 seconds, then I add the SweetLeaf (3 packs to 24 oz of tea at a time), stir vigorously for about a 30-seconds, then I slowly stir it into the cold tea. I've never had a problem with clumps, and I get a nice smooth flavor that rivals tea sweetened with sugar with no aftertaste. If I go to a restaurant, I just ask them to bring me a small amount of hot water in a cup and an extra glass. I pour the excess hot water into the extra glass (so I don't dilute the tea too much) and mix my sweetener in the cup, then add it to the tea as usual. I've broken my sugar/artificial sweetener habit (no more sodas for me), now I just have to give up caffeine (starting with half-caff tea) then to decaf. I have migraines, so I cant give that up cold turkey. I do find that this doesn't affect my blood pressure or blood sugar (I am not diabetic, as my blood sugar and blood pressure both run on the low side).ETA: I've gone through my first three pack, and I had no problems some reported about troubles with dissolving it in beverages as long as it's a warm beverage. With cold drinks, it takes a lot more stirring, but I was still able to get it to dissolve eventually. This is, and will remain, my preferred sweetener. I'm ordering two more sets as we speak!!

This is one of my subscription products that I use faithfully everyday. Excellent quality, handy packets, easy to use and healthful as a sugar replacement. It has helped me cut down on my sugar intake which has made me more healthy and alert. This is not a sugar substitute. This is a natural product and I recommend this highly to anyone who loves sweetness without the negative side effects. I feel safe in using SweetLeaf Sweetener because it is absent of those dangerous chemicals that other products designed as sugar substitutes contain. I find that for my one or two cups of coffee a day that the 3-Pack last about three months or thereabouts. I use one packet for each cup. I kept track of my use from the first order so that I'm not stocking up on unnecessary items then having to change my subscription order... however, Amazon is so great! You can change your shipment dates at any time without any fuss and they verify each change and order so that you know exactly what you're receiving and when. THANKS AMAZON!!!

This is the great tasting Stevia sweetener..But manufacturer changed the wrapping design.. but ALSO changed the contents amount per packet from 1 oz to .08 ozThis is not fair because as other sugar substitutes it is very tricky to adjust to the sweetness, and this small amount makes a big difference, which can taste almost sweetless. If the previous addition was claimed that 1 packet equals 2 teaspoons of sugar, how can a smaller amount of .08 oz equal the same 2 teaspoons of sugar ???

Between my husband and I, we almost went through 3 boxes of 70 in 2 months. Some people complain of it lumping but that is due to human error when making the drink. Since we are lucky to have a little fiber in the sweetener, it should be mixed with very little warm or hot water to make sure it is blended if adding sweetener to cold drinks. Because of the fiber, I compare the mixing like when my husband mixes Metamucil. Cold water makes fiber lumpy. It usually is human error that causes the problem so should not blame the product. I learned early not to add stevia to my cream before coffee machine makes my cup of coffee. I had a small lumpy stevia piece with my first coffee. Lesson learned. It is definitely human error. I also don't taste any bitter aftertaste as mentioned by few people. I guess it is possible as we all have different taste buds. Everyone should give it a try. Like anything else, just stay away from the real cheap stuff as they are not processed the same but sold as the real thing. Am re-ordering another two month's worth. Very satisfied customer, and it does not seem put on pounds as was reported by someone's review. With 5 or 6 cups of coffee a day, I am still underweight for my height. bk
