Question 1

The ingredients mention Erythritol, Stevia leaf extract and natural flavors. Waht are the natural flavors added here?

Accepted Answer

“ Erythritol was reported by The Cleveland Clinic to cause blood clotting creating a greater risk of heart attack or stroke. “ It hasn’t been proven to cause the above. But they did notice that pt’s with the above conditions were taking products that contain Erythritol. They don’t know if the patient’s conditions were caused by other health issues or Erythritol consumption. Our food in The USA needs to be rehauled to contain no harmful ingredients. How are European countries able to do it with having certain ingredients banned that are still being used here. We as a country need to demand it from our politicians. Why are they allowing this crap to be consumed by the American public??

Question 2

Is it Keto friendly ?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this is very Keto friendly. Even though it has carbs in it, those carbs are from erythritol which is a sugar alcohol that is not metabolized by the body. What that means is that it does not spike your insulin, which is the entire goal of Keto eating. 
Other artificial sweeteners might say zero carbs on them, but they have dextrose, maladextrose, aspartame, and other ingredients that will spike your insulin.
This product is by far the best sweetener to use while on a Keto diet.

Question 3

Which natual sweetners do they use, name of sweetner, has tu have a name.?

Accepted Answer

Truvia Natural Sweetener is a blend of stevia leaf extract (about 200x sweeter than sugar) and erythritol (a natural sweetener produced by a fermentation process).

Question 4

Is it true that the packets are 1/3 the standard size    Look under reviews that mention 	Jill Eisenstein information

Accepted Answer

I've been getting a large box of 400 single serve packets locally for only $15 a box, $10 when they had a coupon, for years and have very much enjoyed it in coffee, tea etc. It's a combination of stevia extract, erythritol and "natural flavors". The last box I purchased was redesigned which is a tell-tale sign they've changed something, usually not for the better. I found the individual packets contained less product and I found that instead of using the usual one packet I had to use 1 1/2 to 2 packets to get the same amount of sweetening. I compared the old packet with the new ones and found the old packets had 3 grams each and the new packets had only 2 grams. So that's an increase in price of 30%! I went to the company website and found a lot of negative comments stating the same thing. And in each one the company's response was that it was the same sweetening power. It is not. I have a problem with a company that is deceptive, condescending and that is unresponsive to its customers. Truvia seems to think if they just keep repeating that it's the same sweetening power people will eventually believe it. I will no longer purchase their product.
