Truvia is actually natural!!!! and from what I understand agave (A very processed food:grumble: ) digest like fructose through the liver increasing the bad cholesterol. Truvia is natural erythritrol- which is from food, and stevia - a plant that you can buy in the herb section of the walmart garden center! (WAY COOL!) I personally will not let my kids eat anything with agave..... but stevia for sure is ok. Stevia has been available to public for a very very long time, just new(er) here in the USA. I sweeten kool-aid with stevia in the raw. and there is also another natural sweetner called xylitol (80% as sweet as sugar). It is used in sugar free gum alot of times. This is actually found to help build bone mass and is like the anti-cavity sugar. Builds immune system also from what I have heard. anyway that is my shpeel on that subject. Good Luck with everything........0
