    There are a lot of camps on both sides as to which is healthier. I like Truvia, but I can only have a little since it can have a slight sour taste to it. It is also natural (from a plant) rather processed (Splenda).

    I would suggest trying both and finding which works for you.

    Truvia definitely better for you. The jury is still out on Splenda research.

    Truvia is better for you, but I can't take the aftertaste, so I personally use Splenda. It's rare that I use any of it though.

    I like Truvia...it's all natural and it takes so much less to get the same sweetness as sugar.

    I asked because I have been a splenda user, but heard that Truvia is much better for you. I bought some Truvia last night, but am skeptical to open it because I have read how it has an awful after taste... Anybody else notice that?

    truvia is not 100% natural. stevia if you can get it in it's pure form, is 100% natural and thus better for you than splenda OR truvia. if you read truvia's label you will see added ingredients. i buy nustevia in bulk from my local nutritional store, and i love it.

    I prefer Truvia. There is a slight aftertaste but nothing major, at least not for me. Plus, like everyone else is saying its better for you.
