Guest guest Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I can't find anything on it. I only see some cookies for sale made with it. I believe you really need to use caution with artificial sweeteners. This is the first I've heard of Swerve. I work with women who drink 6 diet sodas a day, bottles of Propel and use Sweet N'Low and Spenda in their cereal and coffee. If it isn't raw sugar or honey I don't touch it.
