Pure Stevia can be quite expensive.
Do you know or does the product tell you the REB-A%
Basically the higher the % the closer it is in terms of sweetness compared to say Sucralose.
Sucralose is 600 times sweeter than table sugar and 98-99% REB-A Stevia is 480.
Get to the point I hear you cry - ok!
Not all Stevia is the same - some use methanol, enzymes and formaldehyde in their extraction process.
In theory this could explain the gas - HOWEVER the quantities used are so small that it is difficult to say it is the cause.
A stevia using water extraction is coming to the EU now perhaps this would be better but only time will tell as this one is over 6 weeks away from getting to production co's.
What else is in your stevia product?0 -
