Sarah Vaughter has a great website with some truly eye-opening information! Here is an article showing the real story about Truvia, and what the FDA doesn't want YOU to know about!
"We are being hoodwinked again by the FDA and Big Business - the Coca Cola Company, feeling the heat of an increasing consumer rebellion against carcinogenic sweeteners like Aspartame, managed to beg, bribe and bully the FDA into approving Truvia(TM), also-known-as Rebiana.
Truvia has gotten GRAS ("generally regarded as safe") status - but not Stevia. First of all, it took chutspa to call it "Truvia", as if Stevia somehow isn't the real thing!
Secondly, tales of Truvia(TM) side effects are starting to appear. All those editorials about how wonderful it is that "Stevia is now FDA-approved" were just grossly misleading advertisements for Coca Cola's new "Stevia-sweetened" soda pop. It's a hoax, folks! And the dime-a-dozen "health sites" are taking the bait hook, line and sinker. The FDA was bribed, blackmailed and bullied to approve Aspartame.
Truvia(TM), AKA Rebiana® is an abbreviation for Rebaudioside A, one of the many sweet-tasting compounds in Stevia. Rebaudioside A has the least bitter after-taste of all compounds in natural Stevia, that's why the Coca Cola Company, faced with mounting consumer pressure to remove Aspartame from their products got it rushed to FDA approval.
There are worrying reports about Truvia side effects.
But Stevia is still banned as a food additive or sweetener in the US, Europe and many other countries.
