NuNaturals No Carb Stevia

No Carb Stevia is made with erythritol, which is a natural filler (sugar alcohol) that is produced from corn. It's a natural sweetener that looks and tastes like sugar yet has almost no calories and does not have any adverse effects on blood sugar. Some of you may have watched the documentary King Korn. We are getting corn through every step of the food chain these days which is creating radical imbalances in our food supply and in our bodies. Consider mixing it with other healthy sweeteners, like xylitol, to increase its flavor profile. Erythritol has a low molecular weight which means it won't brown the way other sugars do when baked but it will extend the shelf life of products it's used in. We give it a 3 because of the metallic aftertaste and the refining process. We’d also like to see xylitol replace the erythritol since xylitol comes from the birch tree, improves enamel on teeth and challenges fungus and yeast in the body.
