Truvia
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I ordered one of the new stevia products, Cargill’s Truvia, which is sold in single serving packets.
It’s not bad. It actually physically resembles table sugar: it has the same crystalline appearance and bulk, and the same slight crunch (if you put it in your mouth, undissolved). It’s quite as sweet, too, although there’s a slight bitterness associated with it…the sweetness isn’t as “clean” as sucralose (Splenda) – it’s more reminiscent of saccharin. It’s better than stevia (which has an aftertaste some describe as “anise-like”), I think, but not quite as good as Cargill/Coke make it out to be.
As noted in the linked post, I also gave Zevia a try…but will be formally reviewing it on the site in a new section dedicated to fat-loss/fitness-oriented functional food products, so stay tuned…

WordPress is pretty user-friendly, although it does have its quirks. Setting it up can be tricky, if you want a custom theme – although there are a ton of freebie/low-cost themes available that you can adapt somewhat for your purposes.
