If so do you like it? Is it worth the price? I'm looking for some places online to order it from, found a few but the shipping is retarded.

If you go to any health food store they have it for a good price in the liquid form.The sugar form is very pricy.

I ordered about 1/2 kg from BulkNutrition a long time ago. It lasts forever. The sweet taste is different from sugar. Before you stock up, you should try a bit to make sure you're interested. I find it to be OK, but I could see how some wouldn't like it.

Thanks guys. Stratego, did you get it in liquid form or powder form? I was going to try to get in the packets but I heard that it was quite a bit sweeter than sugar.

I tried both when i work at a health food store,see if they have any samples,then take it from there.

have used it. works for cal free sweetener. also looks into Erythritol. One of the newer sugar alcohol. GI of 0 and you don't absorb any cals from it unlike maltitol. I'm guessing it taste better then stevia. Have seen it recently available in stores
