Have you tried the all natural sweetener from Truvia yet? I had heard the name once or twice, until I was invited from Crowdtap to take part of a sampling. I must say it tastes like the real thing. I couldn't believe it had zero calories. I used to use Sweet and Lo, but I didn't like the aftertaste much. Truvia had zero aftertaste. It was just like real sugar.
