Why is silica added to stevia?
Silica (just sand, really) is usually found in little packets packed along with new products to absorb moisture, keeping the pruduct dry. These packets usually have a label on them that say something like "don't consume." Well, some brands of stevia sweetener put the silica granules right in with the sweetener so that the sweetener components don't pick up moisture and get lumpy. That way it pours easily. But, there is no warning about consuming the silica. Presumably the FDA feels this is ok, but I'm not sure I like the idea of consuming sand. Some stevia brands don't have the silica.

Is Stevia with dextrose the same as plain Stevia?
No. Stevia with Dextrose includes Dextrose whereas, plain, pure Stevia should have only Stevia Rebaudiana Bertoni. Now, most Stevia powders have fillers to help with packaging ie. Erythritol and Xylitol, both of which are natural . Watch the ingredients in the brand of Stevia you choose and make sure you know what the fillers are and what percentage of Stevia is in the product. Some may have a lower percentage of Stevia, a higher percentage of filler, as well as unsafe fillers. Stevita Stevia has 95-98 percent of Stevia in their products. See the related link for further information.

Where can you buy Simply sweet table sweetener?
Be careful what brand of Stevia you purchase. It might be a good idea to find out where the company gets their Stevia from and how it is produced ie. cultivated on a Stevia farm or in a lab and where. A lot are being sold in the stores now but just be cautious. You may want to look into Stevita brand Stevia. They actually cultivate their stevia on farms in Brazil which is one of the places Stevia originated from centuries ago. You can find Stevita Stevia products at SteviaSmart.com In December 2008, the FDA approved Rebaudioside-A (a sweet stevioside extracted from stevia plants) for use as a food additive. It has become available in mainstream grocery stores under the brand names Truvia or PureVia. Otherwise, pure stevioside extract (which includes Reb-A and other steviosides) has been available for years in powder and liquid form from natural food stores such as Whole Foods and Trader Joe's.
