      I must study this product....Cargill is one of the largest companies in the world and I am suspicious of them ...like Monsanto who want to be the only supplier in the world when it comes to grains

        Like Splenda (which is supposed to be 'natural,' but is in fact quite frightening in terms of how it's processed), it seems awfully silly to buy a product made FROM stevia when you can simply walk down to your store and buy stevia powder which already has no calories and is incredibly 'sweet.' No doubt they'll manage to feck it up by over-processing something that's already good enough.
