Is Truvia Safe?
The common question about the “uncommonly known” natural sweetener “Is Truvia safe?” is about to be answered, here. In December of 2009, the FDA found “no objection” to Truvia, suggesting that the all natural sweetener should cause no harm to humans, although finding that some of its ingredients could cause cancer. The question “is Truvia safe” is really up to personal determination. The stevia plant has been used, for centuries in countries such as South America (the home of the stevia plant) and Japan.
Based on the FDA’s findings of certain cancer causing agents but the “no objection” statement and history of use, worldwide, Truvia is probably no more harmful for human consumption that regular sugar.
