The best thing I ever did for my diet was eliminate refined carbs, including sugars of all kinds that don't come packaged in a natural fruit form. That means eliminating the large majority of processed foods, which are just over-priced, low nutrient ladened crap IMO.
On this score, this product, (TRUVIA)-- which CocaCola and Cargill sought to capitalize on the safety of all natural stevia, and could not patent, without having added processed erythritol-- is yet another example of how big business is manipulating the public.
One shouldn't have to be a PhD-level scientist/nutritionist to be able to sort out what is on the grocery store shelves, but increasingly those who don't read labels may face some unpleasant consequences long term.
