I swear I’ve seen companies advertise “no artificial sweeteners” while using things like stevia or monk fruit. Maybe I’m misremembering, but it’s so irritating that you just have to know an increasingly long list of sweeteners to check for.
Well yeah because stevia and monk fruit aren’t artificial, they’re natural alternatives to sweeteners.
I’m not making health claims but they do grow in the ground hence non artificial.
But yeah I don’t really like them, so I would wish it would say low sugar, and also no added sweetener alternatives or something, since that’s what I like and I will see low sugar and then buy it and it’s sickly sweet with the fake ones…
Whole leaf stevia is a little bitter, but I haven’t seen any studies on any of it. I haven’t looked, either, since I’ve cut out all of it, unless I’m out somewhere and can’t avoid it (questionable water sources, for example).
When they started using it in yogurt it almost made me vomit every time I bought it without checking. Didn’t take many times to learn, but too damn long.
Everyone I’ve asked never had the same problem though. Turns out stevia just tastes heinous to me so… hooray?
Ahh, probably then. I honestly forgot about the “whole leaf” vs extract thing, even though that was made as a clear point.
I must be at the point I instinctually, typically process no difference. Even though it was clearly stated. Oooof.

“No added sugar” but then the ingredients list extra juice concentrate is another pet peeve.

That’s probably the extract + ethyriol or maltodextrine., in the US. Outside, I don’t know. I’ve never seen a marketed product with whole leaf.
