Is Truvia Good or Bad For Diabetes

Download Diabetes Management Book: https://bit.ly/2g0NDAH

Hello, I’m Ty Mason from TheDiabetesCouncil.com, researcher, writer and I have type 2 diabetes. Today I’m going to answer the question, is Truvia good for diabetes. But before we get into that, make sure you download my free diabetes management book which also includes a diabetes grocery shopping guide (foods to eat and avoid) and other tips to better manage your blood sugar to avoid complications.

Truvia is a stevia-based sugar substitute. The product was developed in a joint effort between The Coca-Cola Company and Cargill. Cargill markets and distributes the product as a tabletop sweetener as well as a food ingredient. Truvia ingredients include rebiana, erythritol, and natural flavors.

The extract taken from the stevia plant has been used for many years as a sweetener, but was actually banned in the United States in 1991 because it was thought to cause cancer. The ban was lifted in 1995, but the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allowed stevia to be imported and sold as a food supplement, but not as a sweetener. In December 2008, the FDA declared stevia Generally Regarded As Safe.

Stevia extract, the main ingredient in Truvia is 250-300 times sweeter than table sugar.

Another ingredient in Truvia is erythritol.

A 2014 study at Drexel University concluded something very interesting about Truvia. The study concludes that “Our findings demonstrate, for the first time, that erythritol, and the erythritol containing sweetener Truvia, are toxic to Drosophila melanogaster.” What does that mean? Truvia is an excellent pesticide for the common fruit fly! Does that sound good for diabetes? Wait.

A 2003 study by Søren Gregersen found that stevioside, the stevia extract found in Truvia, reduces postprandial blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetic patients, indicating beneficial effects on the glucose metabolism. Stevioside may be advantageous in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Postbrandial simply means the blood glucose levels after eating a meal.

A 2012 study by Naveen Shivanna found that stevia extract not only had a positive impact on blood glucose levels, but was found to be an anti-oxidant and had liver protection properties.

So, is Truvia good for diabetes? My answer is yes.

Truvia is an excellent choice as an artificial sweetener.

I hope this answered your question is Truvia good or bad for diabetes. Don’t forget to get your diabetes management book.

Let me know if you have any other diabetes related questions.
