So when I heard that Cargill , the company that in March, CondeNast Portfolio listed as one of " The Toxic Ten " (one of the worst corporate polluters in America) and Coca Cola , who has basically put America on an intravenous (IV) line of high fructose corn syrup, were coming out with a new sweetener, you can bet I was a little skeptical. Like we need another zero-calorie, chemical, no-value sweetener on the market
According to the Truvia website , the plant will not be grown organically. As stated, "While rebiana is natural and comes from a plant, it is not certified or grown organically at this time. That could happen in the future, depending on consumer demand." The idea is to have an "all-natural" zero-cal sweetener, and they are not growing it organically? I don't get it. Why not do it right from the beginning? These are two companies that generate billions of dollars of year, and will probably have the exclusive rights to use this "wonder sweetener" and are not going to grow it organically?
Beyond that, this whole thing gets me wondering. If stevia was blocked from our consumption by Monsanto nearly 20 years ago, and its better for us than chemicals like aspartame and saccharine, then what else has have we been denied for the almighty dollar?

So, you?d still like to know the answer to this question: is Truvia safe? Unfortunately, there?s no conclusive answer either way at this point. Then again, there?s no evidence of any adverse side effects. Since it?s been commonly used in Japan for decades, this may give you enough comfort to proceed with the consumption of some products that contain Truvia.
