About one-third of the way in the article:
"Erythritol is also the largest ingredient by weight in many “natural” stevia and monk-fruit products, Hazen said. Because stevia and monkfruit are about 200 to 400 times sweeter than sugar, just a small amount is needed in any product. The bulk of the product is erythritol, which adds the sugar-like crystalline appearance and texture consumers expect."
