Guest guest Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 , I just looked on the packet that I got at Sun Harvest first..and it's called Sweetleaf Stevia Plus... zero calories and all natural..the only other ingredient is Insulin Fiber and Stevia Extract. The liquid that I bought is the same brand and the only other ingredient is Grapefruit Seed Extract. So I should be ok with the liquid for sure if it isn't the Stevia that is bothering me. Will try it again soon.....Thanks again for your help... > >About a month ago I started using Stevia sweetener in the green packets > >from Sun Harvest...I can't remember the name of the exact brand off > >hand.
