Default Stevia question/Netrition

I just noticed that Netrition has two liquid Stevia's for sale. One is Stevia Glycerite (2 oz bottle for $4.99) & Stevia Liquid Extract (2 oz bottle for $5.99). Does anyone know what the difference is between these two kinds and the 2 oz bottle of "Stevia Clear Liquid Stevia" from Sweetleaf that I can find in the grocery store for $11.99!? Are they basically the same, used the same, same level of sweetness? That's sure a LOT cheaper than $11.99 a bottle! I like using both the liquid and the powder.

I , personally, did not have a chance to try Stevia yet, BUT.........
Lots of articles and researchers criticize Splenda, and giving a good review to Stevia.
It is natural, and Splenda , according to some authors, have chloride in it, which is dangerous if your methabolism is good - digested well.
I am not sure how much in danger we are by using Splenda, yet, it is derivative from sugar, and may be it is safer than we think... Yet, I am about to get some Stevia and see what will happen.
Anyone else ?

Mom,

Stevia is a very potent sweetener that comes from a shrub. Dr. Atkins recommended it as an alternative to other sweeteners. I used the Stevia Glycerite, and it was good in my cup of tea. It comes with a dropper, and you use like 5 drops. The bottle says it has 375 servings. It's a little bottle, easy to keep on the counter. The only drawback is that the outside of the bottle gets sticky. But I will buy it again. I don't know about the others kinds. Stevia is a good sweetener to use.
