I was anticipating, and getting excited about receiving my PureVia in the mail. Had heard it's All Natural Zero Calorie Sweetener. I thought this is going to be great, I do not go for the man made stuff, give me the real deal it's been around a long time. Butter, cheese, sugar, eggs all the good stuff.

I was thrilled when it arrived, couldn't wait to try. It was going to have wait until my morning coffee. I poured one whole packet into my coffee, added a little Hazelnut Coffee Creamer like I always do. The taste just wasn't the same, now it's about the same amount of sugar I normally add. I don't go overboard with it, but this just didn't have the same taste. Sweetness to it as regular sugar and it did leave a smidgen of film or taste in your mouth that was different. PureVia All Natural Zero Calorie is to me somewhat of a disappointment.

Now someone who is watching sugar, calorie amounts might go for this, I personally do not go overboard when it comes to sugar. So for me this just didn't sweeten enough my morning cup of coffee, doesn't have the taste. Don't get me wrong, not that it's no good just not for me.

I don't eat any sugar~free, or diet drinks. They leave an aftertaste. Plus who really knows what effect down the road it will cause. They say the diet drinks actually make you crave more sweeteners. So who wins? The company who made it. I'll take 100% juice and add sparkling water so it's a 50/50 split. Tastes wonderful, makes you feel like you are having a pop. Just put the water in first. All natural juices have sugar. Just like the fruit itself. Try it, alot of people I've told it to love it.

Yep, I agree. I tried some sugar-free York peppermint patties. They made my stomach turn and let's just say I'll never eat those again! It tasted sort of like aspirin to me.

Hi,
Oh you tried this also? Just didn't have the taste, and the man made stuff worries me. Why mess with stuff that has been around for years, ya know?
