Sugar free Oreo - Sweetener? What's the sweetener used in this product? Consumers would want to know. For instance, I'd buy it if they used Splenda. Would not if they used Malitol.

These use Maltitol - which is apparently pretty much as bad a sugar (GI and carbs), but lets you use a a sugar free claim in your marketing. So, why is everybody so excited about this product? http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/nutrition/a/maltitol.htm

These are indeed Sweetened with Malitol. I don't know about you but I am exteremely sensitive to Malitol. So, I don't recommend them

In a hour as I am not home right now so stay tun. I will tell you this however, it is sugarless. As you know it is sweetened with stevia and by far stevia is the best sugarless sweetener I have ever tasted!

I has artificial sweeteners, and i was not used to how sweet it was. I have cleansed my pallet, so i am used to not a lot of sweetness from my supplements. It is not to sweet, but i don't really have that sweet tooth any more for my supplements.

It's unflavored so there's no sweetener in it at all. Also, Stevia is not artificial, it's a plant. Easy to confuse, but 'sugar substitute' and 'artificial sweetener' are not always the same. There are alternatives to sugar that are natural such as stevia and xylitol. The artificial ones are man-made like aspartame and saccharin. It's moot for this product though b/c none of those are in it! Sweeten with fruit, milk or whatever you like!

Well, Corey I did some research and it appears that you may be on to something. Already purchased a gigantic package of Stevia In The raw, so I will likely ride it out. However, I am now on the lookout for a natural sugar substitute, any suggestions? Someone suggested Sweet Leaf brand but not sure about that either.

It's my favorite brand of Stevia, not coincidentally the healthiest (both stevia & inulin from chicory root are actually good for us). But Stevia is a hundred times sweeter than sugar, so "less is more" w/ stevia--use very little or it becomes bitter :) I also use it w/ maple syrup or coconut sugar to use less of those more costly & higher glycemic sweeteners.

I do believe it is with Splenda . They are great... Splenda taste better than other sweeteners.

I use the Zero Erythritol packets in my coffee almost daily. It tastes more like sugar than Stevia. Sometimes I combine and other times I alternate between the Zero and stevia. I like both.

I also tasted an artificial sweet flavor. I was concerned because artificial sweetners give me headaches, so I called the number on the label and the woman that answered promised that there were no artificial sweetners or stevia in it. She claimed it was sweetened with apple pectin and pineapple. But there is no sugar content listed and I still wonder about that sweet flavor because I am diabetic. I did not get headaches from it though. I have since started using the Amazing grass green superfood, but it sure does not taste as good!

I am unsure what you are asking, what ingredients are the sweeteners or was it sweet? I can say it's the only protein shake mixed with only water without gagging.

The ingredient list shows Sucralose (Splenda) and/or Stevia. It could be one or both sweeteners. It varies depending on which flavor bar you are looking at.

I had the same reaction when I bought this product. My suspicion is that they added the dextrose as an anti caking agent, but since we are trying to cut out all forms of excess sugar from our diets, I won't be buying this product again. I want the iodine, but not the sugar.

ERYTHRITOL IS THE PRIMARY INGREDIENT in this sweetener, not stevia. Erythritol is listed before the other ingredient, stevia rebaudiana, which means there's more erythritol than stevia in this sweetener.MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THE [cleverly written] LABEL - it says "we use only stevia extract with at least 95% pure glycosides" - get that? That means that the stevia extract - the SECONDARY ingredient in this product - contains at least 95% steviol glycoside. IT DOES NOT MEAN that 95% is stevia and the rest is erythritol ... far from it. If the actual amounts of erythritol and stevia were openly disclosed on the label, they'd never sell much of it.

It contains sucralose (the same as "Splenda"). This is often labeled as a natural sweetener but more an more studies are showing that it is harmful.

My guess would be Stevia... I LOVE this tea, and there is no way based on the other ingredients listed that it could be as sweet as it is without some outside help. Given that we know it's sugar-free, and that whatever it is is "natural," my deduction is Stevia or some other sweetener.

you can use either one but keep in mind that with no sugar you get less jam with splenda you get only a little more. I use half and half of splenda & sugar. hope this helps

I did not use this product. I found that the product was very artificial tasting. I suspect the product had artificial sweeteners. I disposed of the product.
