Truvia is made w/ Stevia leaves and Erythritol (a natural sweetner made from corn). You have to be careful as this can raise your BGL. If it's safe for you, it's the best sweetener out there for diabetics. As another reviewer mentioned it's great for cinnamon toast (as it has a crunch — like sugar).
This comes in bulk now (I think a 9 oz bag). 1/3 CUP plus two tablespoons equal one cup of sugar. 24 packets equal one cup of sugar. So you can replace this in recipes. I have used it in muffins and baking. NO browning affect, but otherwise it's spot on in taste and flavour.
Great with cinnamon and toast. Was using splenda, but this is better . I'll have to try it on some cereal. haven't used sugar or sweetners on that for years.
After learning about how some other artificial sweeteners are excitotoxins, this is a safe alternative. But it is really expensive. I would just like to see the price come down soon!

I prefer the stevia over the equal or sweet n low. I did research and found that sweet n low and equal substitutes have many side affects. after doing research on line of the side affect I realised most of my problems were from the sugar substitute.
Pros
all natural, does smae type of sweetneing affect to food, no after taste, healtier than sweet n low or equal. does not cause cancer, been around long time, but sugar substitutes fought it being allowed to be called a sweetener. so much healthier, does not cause cancer
Cons
at first takes some getting use too, tastes little different, cost little higher than other replacement sugars,
It does work, is safe for diabetics, the company will send you coupons with 2 sample packets, my Husband loves it and is also diabetic. 0 calories,0 fat,0 protein,3g. carbs.
Pros
TASTES GREAT. NO AFTER TASTE. CAN BE USED ON HOT OR COLD CEREALS, HOT OR COLD DRINKS(MY FAV IS GREEN TEA)CAN BE USED THE SAME WAY ONE WOULD USE SUGAR, BUT W/O THE CALORIES. WE LOVE IT & WOULD DO W/O OTHER THINGS TO HAVE IT.
First time that I tried it, I liked it. Several months ago, I even sent for a sample of it used in soft drinks. You cannot tell the difference from the sugared ones.
This is great! It actually LOOKS like sugar, with crystals and everything. It disolves like sugar too and I don't get any after taste from it. The true test will be when I try it in my husband's tea one day without telling him.
Pros
Less expensive than Sweet Leaf. Disolves and looks more like sugar No calories, no carbs, no guilt

good stuff. the bad taste comes from the toxic reaction in ur body from all that equeal.
Prosvery reasonable
Consall the other stuff is poison
Taste good. I like it better than all the other substitute sweeteners I have tried. It has only three ingredients all naturally occurring.
ProsWorks well with some baked goods where sugar only lends its sweetening properties.
ConsCost a little more than other sweeteners.

Consat first takes some getting use too, tastes little different, cost little higher than other replacement sugars,
I have to try it, hope the taste is good! A friend of mine uses truvia and wants me to switch too.
ProsCost a little more than most but worth it.
Taste was good.
ConsExpensive!
I like that it has no after taste.
ConsThe cost is a bit too high
this is a really good product. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes the taste of stevia.
Prosit doesn't have a bitter taste afterwards. works well in cold drinks…
Consis not good that well in hot drinks.
I will just stick to equal. I had my sample packs of stevia. I was not impressed.
ProsIt is ok if you like it.
ConsI prefer the taste of equal.
Never heard of it before, but I have never had a reason to look for it.Is it in all states????????? Dosey
Tastes great, doesn't have the bite that sucralose and aspartame do in my opinion.
ProsWorks in coffee, tea, yogurt and more. I've successfully subbed truvia in recipes that call for splenda or equal.
ConsHard to locate and not available in bulk amounts yet (supposed to be available in larger quantities by Autumn)
It works great, taste greats (This is all being said my my fiance btw, he's the one who drinks it)
ProsHave to use less of it then sugar to get the same taste as sugar.
ConsNothing.

I got two sample packets in the mail, tried them and really cannot tell the difference from it and sugar. I like it
