Is Truvia the only Stevia on the market? It is the only thing I can find, and it says it is from the Stevia leaf, but the ingredients say "erythritol, rebiana, natural flavors". :confused:

Sweetleaf and Fructevia are others but hard to find. I think Truvia is the only one largely available. You can order from the Stevia website.

You can also get true Stevia that has no additives at many health food stores. It usually comes in a medicine dropper type bottle.

Truvia in the Raw contains JUST stevia (rebiana) and a tiny amount of reg. sugar.

Truvia does have a bit of erythritol to improve the flavor, but as artificial sweeteners go, the sugar alcohols (all those sweeteners that end in -ol) are nowhere near as pink friendly as aspartame, Splenda, and acesulfamate K. Plus, erythritol is the most boy-friendly of them. Truvia is ok for use in a blue sway :agree:
