Truvia is it better than Splenda, Equal, etc.?

[M302_Imola]

Truvia is a brand new natural sweetner (unlike splenda and equal which are artificial sweetners) that is made by Stevia. I have been seeing advertisements here lately and wondered if this would be a good substitute for Splenda? Does anyone know its' impact on blood-sugar levels?

[jackjackson]

I guess i would have to test it in different doses

it's supposedly the best way to go. ive heard it is sweeter than sugar so use sparingly. i think i read the impact on blood sugar is low.

lol, another test for you to run!

There's a new Splenda that has 1g of fibre per packet. Anyone seen these? I like the idea as Splenda is my source of sweetener.

^^^ id like it more if it didn't have maltitol in it and 1 gram of carb per packet.I do use it ..i just wish that wasnt the case....

I'm interested inpicking some up. I've tried other stevia products. I like to use it in iced tea, I drink alot of it being a southern boy. But some stevia products are ok some not. I'll do a search for where to get some. As for now I'm sticking to the splenda.

Is this stevia? If it is, I like it!

Truvia is made from the stevia plant. Somehow the sweetening power is diluted or something. One pack of Truvia = 2 teaspoons of sugar. I've got some pure stevia and it's a PITA to figure out how much to use. It's wicked sweet.

I believe you can purchase some at Bi-Lo.

would the 1g of fiber help to offset this 1g of carb?

[jimmyinkedup]

^^^ good ? .......

huh?

[jackjackson]

I just picked up a box
The fiber versino has 2g carb per serving
the normal one has <1g carb per serving
I will test when my strips come in with 1-5 packets
