Thanks Eric, I did write about the bulking agents in Stevia in the article, but didn't know about powdered extracts that are not bulked up. I'll have to check that out. And you are right, I totally missed sucralose. I'll have to revamp the article (or write a follow up), but unfortunately I'm deep in a series of articles on GMO's right now and it will have to wait until I finish those.
