Truvia
I have a confession. My daughter and I love coffee. It has to not taste like coffee though. Now you’re how wondering what is going on with those chicks. Well, what we actually like is the taste of the International Coffees, such as French Vanilla. If I don’t have the mix, I use 1 tsp. Sanka, 2 tsp. sugar, and about 2 tsp. of French Vanilla creamer. One day while looking at television, the commercial for Truvia came on. I figured, yeah, yeah, another sweetener that tastes nasty and is going to give me Cancer. Considering I am a huge baker and I love to cook, I figured that I may just try it to see if it at least tasted OK. This is an actual picture out of the cupboard of Truvia that I bought. Remember ya’ll, I’m from the country and I know what good ole’ fattening food is supposed to taste like. You cannot pull the wool over my head when it comes to vittles.
I knew I wasn’t going to waste a whole pan of cookies and needed to try it on a small scale. So, I tried it in place of the sugar for my coffee. The first time, I added too much and my coffee was like syrup. The second day, I cut back a pack and it was perfect. I couldn’t believe it actually tasted good!
Since my daughter was exempt from taking her exams, she has been coming to work with me to help out. She told me Friday that she wanted some coffee. I went in and showed her how to make it with the Sanka and the creamer. I gave her the two packs of Truvia and left. When she came into the office, I asked how her coffee tasted and she said it was just like the mix that we usually use. I asked her if she was sure it tasted good. She thought I had spiked it with something, but I explained to her about it being a natural sweetener. Just FYI, the Truvia hype is not just hype. It’s true. I’m like the boy in the video…I just hope this stuff is okay! Anyways people, check it out and let me know what you think!
Holla at you all later!
Pure stevia is wonderful as it hs 0 calories, 0 carbs, and a 0 glycemic index and 100 nutrients.
I hesitate to mention this because you both seem sooo happy to find Truvia, but according to scientists who analyzed Truvia, it is 9/10 of 1% Rebiana and masking agent. It should be said that Rebiana is not an ingredient in the stevia plant, nor is it found in nature. It is produced by the action of chemicals and stringent alcohols on various stevia glycosides. Rebiana is simply the trade name Cargill gave their chemically derived product in 2008. The FDA “No Questions” letter states that Rebiana contains residues of ethanol and methanol. Rebiana is commonly confused with Rebaudioside-A (Reb-A). Reb-A is one of the 11 glycoside compounds naturally within the stevia leaf and is about 400 times sweeter than sugar. It is produced by the action of sunlight on the leaves. The other 99.1% of Truvia is erythritol, a sugar extracted from corn with alcohol(a sugar alcohol), which can be hard on the digestive system. Cargill has admitted that 30% of their corn is genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Truvia is essentially corn sugar, and is not really a stevia product.
But Truvia is not alone in their deception. PureVia is 8/10 of 1% Rebiana (even though they list it as Reb-A on their ingredients list) and 99.2% sugars, Sun Crystals is 96.5% table sugar, and Stevia in the Raw is 95.8% table sugar. All these “stevia products” are really just sugar products as well. Usually, when someone buys a “stevia product” they think they’re are getting a sugar substitute, but what they are really getting, at least with these products, are mainly just different forms of sugar, (and in a couple cases, mainly table sugar) at best.
I do use SweetLeaf Stevia. They are the only ones to use only pure water during the entire extraction process ( as opposed to chemicals and alcohols like other stevia companies), so the natural tase of leaf remains as well as the nutrients–at least in their dark liquids. I also use their powder, which has added inulin fiber, which feeds the good bacteria in the intestines, which in turn, strengthens the immune system. All forms of SweetLeaf Stevia retain stevia’s natural 0 calorie, 0 carb, and 0 glycemic index properties–I understand the only stevia product to retain all three of these properties.
I hope I didn’t bum you out too much! I loved the video–it was very entertaining!
Thanks for the extra information! I will definitely look into SweetLeaf Stevia. I also thought that video was quite funny as well!
Here is the glycemic index food chart that will help you to decide what to eat. The number given in the chart is indicative of the glycemic level present in the food stuff. Higher the level risky it is for diabetic patients. Lower the level indicates low glycemic presence that is helpful to high blood sugar body.
I appreciate you helping me with this subject. I’m going to look up the chart asap!

“Rebiana is commonly confused with Rebaudioside-A (Reb-A)”
In response to the quote above, rebiana IS rebaudioside-A. It’s a consumer friendly name derived from the scientific name, which is a bit long and technical. They are one in the same. Same as we don’t call “salt” sodium chloride or “water” dihydrogen monoxide, H2O.
I don’t believe some of the earlier claims – especially from “yoda.” If many of the stevia products are “mainly table sugar,” how do you explain the dramatic reduction or complete elimination of calories? It just doesn’t add up.
My wife and I have used Truvia and Purevia for several months and neither of us have experienced any problems as some “danger” websites have stated. We use multiple packets each day and have enjoyed all the benefits that come with lower calorie consumption – weight lose!
