I started using Truvia sweetner and I'm finding my breath isn't as 'minty-fresh' as it usually is.

Has anyone experienced this? I've read that this is possible?

    I have had halitosis brought on by coffee. Try looking up the benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar.

    Lol no. I probably have about 1/4c truvia a day for years.

    Not for me personally, and I use it in tea a couple times a day.

    I use it as a sugar substitute sprinkled on my weetabix most morning with no side effects.

    The only thing I noticed is it makes coffee taste a bit bitter... I eat a lot of Asian food so heavy use of garlic is more of an issue! Maybe mention to hygienist next visit...

    Perhaps look at other changes in your diet. When I was on low carb my breath smelled (ketones?). Stevia/Truvia didnt affect my breath when I used it, I didnt like it though. I now use xylitol when I want a non sugar sweetner and it is actually good for your oral hygiene.
