- Trying to be careful about my glucose levels I was so excited about Crystal Lite PURE as a drink but after a little research I found out that the TRUVIA they use, which most people think is Stevia, is made by Coke and it's not Stevia but a broken down refined processed version of Stevia. This is what I found out:
99.1% of Truvia is Erythritol. This is a corn-based sweetener manufactured by Cargill. (30% of whose corn is, by their own information, genetically modified). Sugars from the corn are extracted, mixed with water and fermented, filtered, crystallized and dried. Side effects if you consume too much include digestive upset, diarrhea, and bloating. I’m betting that the bloating is going to end her skinny jean relief and in lieu of being driven to insanity, our songstress can instead be driven into the bathroom. At least the acoustics are good in there.
The other .9% of Truvia is Rebiana. This is a sweetener that is derived from the stevia leaf through a refining process. So just to go back to the song, only a fraction of a percent of the sweetener is derived from a little green leaf.
