Now, in our final view of Truvia and PureVia we take a look at the political history of stevia - the base of rebiana, opinions of some of the major players in this debate and offer our final views on the subject.]]> http://nutritionwonderland.com/2009/02/stevia-controversy/feed/ 86 http://nutritionwonderland.com/2009/02/science-truvia-and-purevia-rebiana/ http://nutritionwonderland.com/2009/02/science-truvia-and-purevia-rebiana/#comments Mon, 23 Feb 2009 21:01:18 +0000 John Serrao http://nutritionwonderland.com/?p=227 real, zero calorie sweetener has been a goal of many agribusiness giants for some time but have Truvia and PureVia been adequately tested?
