Not What the Name Implies and Dangerous
I made a mistake and didn't read the ingredients label. Since the name on the packaged implied it was raw stevia I thought that's what it is. After reading the label and now seeing that maltidextrine is the first ingredient listed that implies it is the largest content in the product. And since there are no %s listed I can only assume so. Maltidextrine is, at best, dangerous as it spikes blood sugar and studies say it alters the bio-flora of the gut. I have to throw what I bought away. The company should either stop selling this under the product name or change the company name. There is no integrity here.
