PureVia All Natural Zero Calorie Sweetener Review

Background -

I never worried about ,my caloric intake until I got pregnant. I became a gestational diabetic (diabetic when there's a baby baking) who ate by a strict schedule, became best friends with a glucometer and took insulin twice a day. Since then, I have modified my diet to limit the amount of sugars and carbs as a health decision (and I didn't want to have to go through the "giving up" stage again!).

The test -

I received my sample of PureVia in the mail about a week or so ago. I do not drink coffee or tea, but do love my crisped rice cereal. While the PureVia was not as tasty as I remember sugar being (have not used sugar in ages), it was noticibly less noticible than other sugar substitutes. It had a tiny aftertaste that was easily dismissed and did not linger long. It dissolved effectively and sweetened the cereal, but a little sweeter would have been better.

The review -

While I didn't dislike the PureVia, it still isn't sugar. I must say that I do prefer Splenda, but the PureVia would have to be a good 2nd place winner. I would have preferred it to sweeten a little more. Also, would like information as far as how it compares to sugar and/or Splenda in cooking/baking.
