Truvia

It's called Truvia and comes in a green and white box. I thought it might be better than sweet and low. Any thoughts?

I mainly went iwht it though because, unlijke artificial sweetners, it has shown (so far) to have no impact on insulin production.   I'm a diabetic so I thought this would be a better shoice for me.
