I’ve had no side effects from the Ocean Spray Diet. My “only” complaint is that they are very strong in flavor so I like them over slightly melted ice. Drinking them straight is like drinking straight grape or cranberry juice, very sweet and very tart.

We’ve tried Truvia but still prefer Sweet and Low in coffee or tea. I will use Truvia on unsweetened cereal but don’t care much for it in cooking. I have never heard of Stevia, what is that used in?

Stevia is the actual botanic name of the plant from south america, from which Truvia is made; difficult to grow, but I’ve done it in my GHs:

It’s also an all-natural product, wo/ chlorine bleach Truvia uses:

There is a lot of controversy about Truvia/chlorine bleaching, which is piquing my interest. Must do more research on it, as I’ve used it for 3yrs.

Sweet’N Low:

Many pro/con sites/opinions there... I need to do more research on Truvia vs Stevia brands.
