Most stevia companies extract their product with ethanol, methanol, solvents, enzymes, or a combo of these, which can result in that weird afertaste. Most also blend their stevia with alcohol sugars, dextrose, malto-dextrin, or a combo of them. Reasonably, this results in a stevia product that falls short of its natural medicinal properties. The great benefits of natural stevia is thus negated, or at least, reduced. With these additives how can their product retain the calorie, carb free, 0 glycemic index peoperties? SweetLeaf Sweetener is the only one wherin only pure water touches the leaves during the entire extraction process. Others may have you believe that it's the leaf that causes the aftertaste, but I don't think they are being completely honest. SweetLeaf extracts using only water from the highest qulaity leaves and they have never felt that they have a problem with an aftertaste, as others have, who are now adding masking agents to their product to cover up the taste. All this makes SweetLeaf the only truly all-natural stevia brand on the market that retains the natural stevia properties, 0 calories, 0 carbs, and a 0 glycemic index, along the many other health benefits of pure stevia.
