Is Truvia really chemical free?




Question: Is Truvia really Chemical Free? Is it better than Splenda and the other artificial sweeteners?


Answer: Yes, Truvia is free of chemicals. It is made up of 3 ingredients: Erythritol, Rebiana and Natural Flavors. Let me predict the next question. What is Erythritol and Rebiana? Glad you asked! Erythritol is a naturally fermented sugar alcohol and Rebiana comes from the sweet leaf of the stevia plant (shown here). I would have no hesitation consuming Truvia myself or recommending it to my clients and patients as a way of enjoying sweet foods without consuming all the calories!
