Well.. Cocaine is not the same as Coca leaves, same is true about chemically treated Stevia, it's not really "natural".. Stevia plant leaves and Stevia white powder are not one and the same... and I am grateful for OP posting this info, because since a while i suffer from mystery insulin spikes.. that are totally unhealthy and lead to organ damage, though my doctor told me I don't have "the normal diabetes".. go figure!
