Most sugars (not all) are partly or wholly converted to glucose - and

"Sunrider" foods has a raw organic dropper stevia . It's herbal. It's natural, very strong and it's not sugar , but sweetens things well. It even balances sugar . Acesulfame I thought is a carcinogen. Try Stevia , It’s availlable in whole foods stores.
