I didn't know that you could get the white stevia powder. I've only used the dried leaves and the liquid. And as to why the fda won't let anything other then aspertame or other neurotoxins get approved is probably no secret to any of us here on this list!(smile) Hi,

Of course, if one has Phenylketonuria (PKU) I would agree that aspartame is very harmful. I do not believe that the mere fact it is heat labile would confer danger, nor would it being a dimer---in my opinion. Again, do you know of peer-reviewed resarch that suggests such?

I did not know aspartame was a neurotoxin. Would you let
me know the peer-reviewed research that suggests it to be?

It is very strong tasting and you will definately notice it. It does take some getting used to. Hi,
