  1. What about TruVia, the supposedly stevia-based sweetener that has the texture of granular sugar.

    Is that stuff okay?

    Produced by cartel food company, but I like this sweetenter.

    Thanks.

  2. TruVia is not stevia, it is stevia with dextrose and therefore has calories because dextrose is table sugar. get stevia at Vitamin world, GNC, etc. thats only way to get the pure kind, or buy the leaves yourself and make a powder out of them or buy SweetLeaf.

    You can grow your own Stevia. Most seed catalogs have it

    now. Look on line too.

  4. Xylitol is indigestible and damages colons severely if invested regularly. It is one of the many reasons not to eat prepared foods, and definitely no gum.

    1. Forgot to mention that the bitter after aftertaste with stevia comes from using too much. It is so much sweeter than sugar you have to use a minuscule amount. Trader Joes's sells 3 versions of Stevia.

      The one that contains only stevia leaf comes with a tiny version of a spoon. I use a quarter of the tiny spoon. The jar is small and costs $10. Looks like it will last me 6 to 10 months. I plan to grow my own.

      I hated the taste of Stevia that had additives.
