This is pretty cool! I saw a commercial for Truvia, a newly FDA approved sweetener made from Stevia. The cool part is that it seems to be an all natural Stevia sweetener and it's hitting the mainstream! Stevia is a naturally low glycemic, low calorie sweet plant used as a sweetener. Natural health foodies have been using this stuff for awhile but there was a lot of pressure on the FDA not to approve it. Why would there be resistance to Stevia? You'll never guess who was resisting...the chemical companies responsible for pumping our "food" full of aspartame and other fake sweeteners that are responsible for all sorts of health problems. Stevia hasn't been linked with any health problems in case anyone was wondering.
Why the hell haven't we been using this natural sweetener for decades now instead of using aspartame? I don't know, capitalism and ignorance and greed make people do stupid things.
I will not be using stevia products during my phase I journey as I think sweeteners in general contribute to sugar addiction, even if they are low glycemic.
I was excited to see this commercial. So...in the future...if you have to have processed gunk, look for processed gunk that uses "Truvia" or another Stevia based sweetener instead of one full of chemicals. Your body will thank you!!
