Sugar makes me quite ill as does Splenda. There is a new product on the market called PureVia which is made from the sweetest part of the stevia leaf. Has anyone tried this product and what were your results?

I have used Stevia...no problem. I have also used Truvia, from the Stevia plant. No problem. Stevia is not an artificial sweetener, but an herb plant. I have not tried PureVia, but I'm assuming it would be safe, as well. You are wise in avoiding all artificial sweeteners.

I use stevia, it's great, no calories, definitely better than refined sugar for your health, a tiny bit goes a long way.
