Why is silica added to stevia?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

Can Stevia be eaten on fructose free diet?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Hi,
I am by no means an expert in this. Most plants / fruit in nature that are sweet, the sugar is coming from Fructose. This is purely my understanding of it. So, since it's a leaf I'd say that yes it is Fructose.

I am not sure there is a way to have a 100% free fructose free diet. The question is how is it delivered. Apple versus apple juice, an apple was meant to be eat with the peel and fiber. When we take out the fiber what is left is just a flavored cocktail of glucose, fructose, and water.

Now, how much fructose is in 1/8 tsp of stevia sweetner is a question? But at least that 1/8 tsp of stevia gets you a full teaspoons worth of Sucrose. If Sucrose is 1/2 glucose and 1/2 fructose logic would be it's 75% less fructose? That is if stevia is 100% fructose, which is my question... how much of stevia is fructose? Say in SweetLeaf SteviaClear Liquid Stevia.

A lot to think about!
