What I’ve learned Stevia is 200 times sweeter than sugar (most substitute sweeteners are) There isn’t enough evidence to prove Stevia and other substitute sweeteners are good for your health Stevia is more expensive compared to white sugar 9. 8 oz of Stevia ranges from $5. 50 -$7. 00 4 lbs of white sugar ranges from $1. 50 -$3. 00
Additional insight Using Nutritionist Pro: there were few limitations when it came to ingredient use (brand amount per serving) Nutrition report may not be very accurate The “right” amount of substitute sweetener is subjective to the person making the recipe due to its define taste
