Just looking for alternative sweetners and was wondering your thoughts on Truvia. It apperars to be derived from the Stevia plant, but also has Erythritol in it. Everything I have read says that it's about 99% natural. What do you guys think?

Personally....I know nothing about the stuff but I wouldn't touch it. If it's processed and mass produced, then you can bet it's not all that great for you. If you have lyme and are on abx (which many of us on the forum are), there isn't any kind of sugar or sweetener that's good for you....any of it can feed the yeast.....

What about Stevia itself? I believe it's the only real natural sweetener. Agave is also very popular right now...
