I think I'd go faster based on name alone!!!!

From the website

"Hornet Juice does not contain stevia. Stevia is an artificial sweetener that is widely used in Japan but not FDA-approved as a sweetening agent and food additive.Hornet Juice contains Sucralose instead which does not have the bitter after taste that Stevia has."

So Stevia is an artificial sweetner (no its not), so they use Sucralose (which IS an artificial sweetner) instead?

I think something might be getting lost in the translation of the website.

Interesting. I don't understand why these "health" products use artificial sweeteners.

Despite the aggressive marketing there's nothing "natural" about Sucralose.

ETA: I'm not sure about the US but I know stevia is used widely in canada. I don't know much about it though.

I am far from an expert, but I do know that Stevia is a leaf (natural), that is ground//powdered and used as a sweetner. It does not spike blood sugar like sugar AND sucralose.

Some people find Stevia leaves a bitter aftertaste and don't like it, but I am fine with it. I tend to only buy whey protein and BCAAs with stevia if I can help it. No need to add the fake stuff into my diet unless I absolutely have to.

It is still used widely in the States, i guess the issue companies using it as a sweetner according to the FDA. Some use it as a "flavour" to get around that.

I don't mean to derail the thread about Hornet Juice. Looks interesting, I just found the statement about Stevia vs Sucralose a little odd.

Stick with beet juice. It's better for you if nothing else.
