The Sweet Stuff

Stevia extract in the raw and truvia both contain the herb stevia and they are among the latest no-calorie sweeteners to appear in the market. How do they compare to other sweeteners like aspartame (Equal) and sucralose (Splenda)? All of these sweeteners are safe because they have been approved by the FDA, but the ones made from stevia are the most natural because they were made from a plant that happens to have sweet-tasting leaves.
