Truvia is made of stevia leaf extract, erythritol, and natural flavors. Because it comes from the stevia plant, Cargill classifies Truvia as a natural sweetener in addition to being a non-nutritive sweetener, although Cargill has settled lawsuits alleging deceptive marketing of Truvia as "natural".

Truvia is marketed as a natural product because of its origins in the stevia plant, but it is removed from its roots by several refinements. It also has added ingredients, including erythritol (a sugar alcohol) and natural flavoring.

Truvia is not the same as stevia. Stevia leaf extract is a key ingredient in Truvia sweeteners, and each delicious taste contains purified extract made from the best-tasting parts of the stevia plant.

Even though Truvia contains stevia, many nutritionists pick stevia as the better and safer option for consumption. This is because stevia is less processed than Truvia and does not contain sugar alcohol like erythritol, which may cause gastrointestinal side effects.

A new study finds a link between erythritol – a common artificial sweetener also used as a filler in stevia and monk fruit sweeteners and some keto products – and risk of harm to the heart and blood vessels, including clotting, stroke, heart attack and even death.

Truvia is an almost calorie-free sweetener that does not affect blood sugar or insulin levels and exhibits few - if any - side effects for most people. In that regard, it is arguably better for your health than sugar. If you like the taste of Truvia and want to try it out, there's no compelling reason to avoid it.

If you are overweight or have diabetes or metabolic syndrome, Truvia - or plain erythritol - may be a good alternative to sugar. Truvia is almost calorie-free.

Truvia is low in calories, making it a great table sugar alternative for people looking to reduce their calorie intake. Truvia does not affect insulin and glucose levels in the same way sugar does. For people living with diabetes or those who are watching their blood sugar levels, this is another positive benefit.
