I tried the liquid and found it too bitter. You have to know I really have a sweet tooth and if it isn't sweet, I won't use it! I have been on a mad quest to get off of artificial sweeteners like Splenda, but not to go back to pure sugar... Then, I recently found something in the grocery story called "Truvina" which is made from the stevia leaf and extremely sweet. What I don't know is how it is manufactured - as in chlorine being used in manufacturing Splenda, so you are in fact ingesting chlorine. As far as I can tell, it has not caused me any problems to date. Also, I tasted one brand recently in the HFS - a powder that tasted just like sugar. I do know it has been around for centuries in China and all the naturopath/homeopathic/alternative medicine people/doctors say it is the only safe artificial sweetener. I'm just not sure how pure the Truvina is - I've go to research it more... OR, maybe our scientist friends on this website already know about it and can enlighten us - Hint, Hint - Syl & Fen????
