How about you? What are your results like?

PS. I started this thread so no worries for hijacking it.
i tried only a few times, and a few years ago.. have long since blocked out the horrible experience! like you, i found that it takes far too much stevia to make sense in pursuing this for a less than excellent taste. i went back to either using cane sugar, turbinado, or xylitol. (who knows if i spelled the last two correctly) the stevia is just FAR too expensive to continue to experiment.

lastly - when riding 300+ k - the last concern on my mind is some refined sugar.
