Stevia has the best flavors when a quality iteration is found. They're so often different because many sorts of molecules are extracted, and combined in various ratios.

Aspartame has had warnings for a while, not that it's very tasty anyway; and stevia grows from dirt. I'm also not aware of grounds *or* extracts affecting negatively the gut biome.

Erythritol is disgusting.

There are dozens of compounds, and a few chemical-restructurings, ratio'd into various iterations ([image], et al.). ..Some are even vanilla-esque.

"Had you even attempted getting the stevia that's been posted on here?"

The flavoring each of different iterations is basing on specific compounds. Here's an ~only-sweet:

>Stevia.
>Is some 200x sweeter than sugar, with longer onsets and more lasting durations.
>Has been evidenced with *benefits* to glucose and insulin metrics.
>Results with *much* more satiation derived form both food-preparation and meals.

>"Stevia preloads significantly lowered postprandial glucose levels compared to sucrose preloads (p < .01), and postprandial insulin levels compared to both aspartame and sucrose preloads (p < .05).
>This study also had a number of strengths. First, both lean and obese individuals were included, increasing the generalizability of these findings. Second, food intake was directly measured, and satiety measurements were taken at identical time intervals as blood glucose and insulin levels. Third, a pilot study was initially conducted to determine the appropriate gram and calorie amounts to provide in the preloads. Moreover, all preloads were matched for gram weight, and the aspartame and stevia preloads were matched for caloric content.
>In conclusion, participants did not compensate by eating more at either their lunch or dinner meal and reported similar levels of satiety when they consumed lower calorie preloads containing stevia or aspartame than when they consumed higher calorie preloads containing sucrose. Additionally, stevia preloads reduced postprandial blood glucose and insulin levels, suggesting stevia may assist with glucose regulation. These effects appear to be independent of reductions in caloric intake, as participants consumed similar calorie amounts in both the stevia and aspartame conditions."

**A lot of the iterations I got** were gross (chemical-y / bitter). There are so many variations because companies are combining amounts of the plant's different compounds ([image]). .. Here's an example that's really sweet:

Stevia's flavoring / aftertastes are basing on what compounds are used.

A lot of hungers are nutrient-based.

Though it's true that some rare phenomenon are really satisfying.

"What's something neat for low calories?

Mint."

.. Stevia is the minty of sweetness, deriving from the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana ..

•Weight loss.
A lot of it is already mentioned, but furthermore is ..
>the understanding that digestion rates are a lot of what's responsible for fat signals; also, the body has nutrient seeking via senses, repeated habits, etc.;
>that hungers are more than calories; getting lots of protein, plenty of omega 3, proper antioxidants (Sangre de Grado; astaxanthin), all vitamins and minerals, and even the simple substrates of epinephrine, dopamine (L-DOPA), melatonin, and serotonin (5-HTP) .. is the obvious A-to-B of fullness.

•Sweeteners.
Aspartame has odd scholarly results; so does sucralose, the CSPI having relegated it from "safe" to "caution" to "avoidance". (This is somewhat especially relevant for beverages and protein powders.)

Sugar adds up, especially when already taking pyruvate and D-ribose, even on keto / VLC (>>13090643).

>>13090642
That's dumb because I tried many and only found ~that as being enough for even using (and almost vanilla-esque; another before this, of the same brown packaging but from another distributor, actually was).

Aspartame has odd ("danger") scholarly results; so does sucralose, the CSPI having relegated it from "safe" to "caution" to "avoidance". (This is somewhat especially relevant for beverages and protein powders.)

There are so many preparations already (amongst the different flavoring compounds) that what you posted is ludicrous.

>>12518618
There are a lot of types of compounds that are mixed …
