Fructevia (Steviva) - Average rating 5 (2 reviews)  - Write a review Show Reviews Reviews (2) (0) (0) (0) (0)   September 14, 2012 Reviewer: Tina in Michigan We love this sweetener! I have done A LOT of research on natural sweeteners and this is the one I chose for 2 reasons. #1 THE TASTE; I don't care how healthy a sweetener is, if it doesn't taste good you won't have a tendency to use it. Fructevia tastes the closest to actual sugar we have ever tried (and I have spared no expense in trying the "best" out there). There is NO aftertaste. There might be the slightest hint of a fruity flavor when you try it straight, but used in beverages or to sweeten other things you can't tell the difference. I am very picky about aftertaste; when other people can't pick up on it, I can. #2 THE SWEETENERS USED; Fruitose brand crystalline fructose and Stevia. Again, A LOT of research went into choosing this sweetener. The fructose used in Fructevia is not your average fructose. Most of the time it comes from corn. This fructose is made from pure sugar and has a purity level above 99.5%. I know fructose is getting a bad rap right now, but I believe when people start actually looking at the facts instead of all the hype, they will see that crystalline fructose is NOT the same as high fructose corn syrup. Especially for people with blood sugar issues, fructose can be a real help, with a glycemic index of only 19, it hardly raises your blood sugar levels at all. When you combine it with stevia, which has a glycemic index of 0, you have a winning combination. I believe this combination of sweeteners, Fruitose brand fructose and stevia, to be the best, for both health and taste. Was this review helpful to you?

Crystalline Fructose
Steviva sources their GMO free, corn free, fruit based crystalline fructose from Galam, Inc. It is the only plant in the world that produces such a clean non GMO fructose. Crystalline fructose should not be confused with High Fructose Corn Syrup which can contain less than 10% fructose. This crystalline fructose has one of the lowest glycemic indexes of any food - with a rating of only 20, compared to 31 for skim milk, 59 for sucrose (ordinary table sugar), and 98 for an equal weight of mashed potatoes. This means that 1 ounce of fructose raises your blood sugar only about 1/3 as much as an ounce of sucrose, and it releases only about 1/3 as much insulin. And since Fructevia is three times as sweet as table sugar you use only a third as much bringing insulin impact down to practically nil.

FOS (Fructooligosaccharides)
FOS is considered a prebiotic as it supports the healthy well-being of intestinal probiotics, the friendly flora in your intestinal tract. FOS occurs naturally in bananas, garlic, artichokes and certain other foods, and technically is a soluble fiber. FOS is an effective sweetener, being half as sweet as sucrose, yet not absorbed and has minimal caloric value. Steviva uses a small amount of FOS in Fructevia as a filler and as a healthy supplement to their products.

Stevia
Stevia is derived from the herbal plant Stevia Rebaudiana. When refined into a white powder extract (Rebaudioside A), it becomes 200-300 times sweeter than sugar creating an intense sweet effect upon the taste buds without raising blood sugar levels and contains no calories. Research indicates that both diabetics and persons suffering from hypoglycemia may safely use Stevia.

Magnesium Carbonate
Magnesium Carbonate is derived from ancient sea deposits. While Steviva uses Magnesium Carbonate as an anti-caking agent so Fructevia does not clump or stick together and flows freely, it is very important for the normal functioning of cell, nerves, muscles, bones, and the heart.
