[edit] Contradiction with German and Spanish articles

The English article currently claims that one of the sugar in the glycoside is rhamnose, while the images of the molecular structure in the German and Spanish articles show only glucose moieties. Icek 10:26, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

There isn't a contradiction; simply an error of omission in the German and Spanish articles. The German and Spanish articles should be fixed. There are plenty of references (this one for example) saying that rhamnose is a component of rebaudioside C and dulcoside A. Those aren't the primary components of the stevia plant, so the German and Spanish article authors probably felt no need to mention them. --- Amatulic (talk) 18:18, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, it's clear to me now. Icek (talk) 15:11, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
