Truvia Sweetener a Powerful Pesticide; Scientists Shocked As Fruit Flies Die in Less Than a Week From Eating GMO-Derived Erythritol

Research shows that the Truvia sweetener is a strong pesticide; fruit flies die in less than a week from consuming GMO-derived erythritol.


The popular Truvia sweetener contains 99.5% erythritol (a sugar alcohol), and 0.5% rebiana, which is a stevia plant extract- but far from the same thing.

A recent study published in the journal PLOS ONE made a shocking discovery: Namely, this popular sweetener, produced by the food giant Cargill, is a potent insecticide which kills fruit flies which eat it.

This study, named Erythritol, a Non-Nutritive Sugar Alcohol Sweetener and the Main Component of Truvia, Is a Palatable Ingested Insecticide, found that while the normal life of fruit flies is between 39 and 51 days, the ones which consumed erythritol died in less than a week.

Additionally, this dangerous ingredient is indirectly derived from genetically modified corn.

This forced Cargill to settle a class action lawsuit for its label of Truvia as “natural”, while the reality is that it is manufactured from a fermentation process in which yeast are fed GM corn maltodextrin. Yet, they even use this to escape the truth and claim that

 “erythritol is not derived from corn or dextrose feedstock; it is derived from the yeast organism.” This may be correct, but the yeast is fed GMOs, so their explanation cannot deny the facts.

On the other hand, there is a verified non-GMO variant of erythritol, produced in Florida, by Pyure Brands. The products of this company are USDA Organic certified and Non-GMO Project Verified, and they are intended for the health-conscious marketplace.

Yet, the findings of this study and the possibility that Truvia has potent insecticidal properties worried the public. The story was even covered by CBS News, which reported:

Erythritol, the main component of the sweetener Truvia, has a new, unexpected application — it may be used as an insecticide. …Researchers found that fruit flies fed with food that included erythritol or the erythritol-containing sweetener Truvia died much sooner than flies fed with food containing other types of sweeteners.

Sean O’Donnell, a professor of biology at Drexel University in Philadelphia, also told the CBS News that “The more you get [fruit flies] to consume erythritol, the faster they die. We are hoping to develop it into a human-safe insecticide,” O’Donnell later says in the story.

The conclusion of the published study says that “Here we show that Erythritol, a non-nutritive sugar alcohol, was toxic to the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.”

Apparently, fruit flies are not destroyed by other sweeteners. Tests showed that fruit flies which were fed with sucrose and corn syrup were not killed. The study text says that this harmful ingredient actually affects the motor coordination of flies:

…adult flies raised on food containing Truvia displayed aberrant motor control prior to death. We, therefore, assayed motor reflex behavior through climbing assays. Flies raised on food containing Truvia showed a significantly decreased ability to climb.

Research has also shown that Stevia is not the reason for these consequences, as they also investigated Purevia and found it was safe for fruit flies, but the cause is erythritol, which had such toxic effects on fruit flies.

Also, it showed a dose-dependent death response, which means that higher amounts of it accelerated death.

According to the FDA,Truvia is safe for human consumption, but it claimed the same about aspartame, so unfortunately, we cannot rely on it.

Millions of people consume sugar alcohols, believing that they are safe, and may be completely right. However, there is a chance that erythritol contains some unknown contaminant which leads to such toxic effects. The cause may also b in the GMO connection, as well.

Many experts believe that erythritol may be perfectly safe for humans, and these effects occur only selectively, due to the different physiology of insects. If this is true, we wonder why it is not sold as a natural pesticide instead of the expensive and chemical-loaded pesticides by DuPont and Monsanto.

It is important to mention that the idea to investigate the matter came from Simon D. Kaschock-Maranda, a sixth-grade boy.

If sugar alcohol can be sprayed on crops and destroy insects, and consumed by humans with no side-effects, they would be of major value for the organic food production.

FDA Finally Admits Chicken Meat Contains Cancer Causing Arsenic

Arsenic represents cancer causing agent that can significantly harm your overall health. Finally FDA admits that chicken meat in America does contain arsenic. It’s even more appealing because of the fact that this chemical is added to the chicken feed deliberately.


Especially after the FDA had carried out their own research, things went from bad to worse. Arsenic added to the feed of the chicken actually ends up in the chicken meat and finally in the humans’ stomachs. One thing is clear, people in the US has been eating arsenic that comes from the chicken stuff in the last half a century.

The problem appeared when the US poultry and FDA conducted a groundbreaking study. They actually concluded the following: “The arsenic is excreted in the chicken feces”.

Roxarsone is the name of the manufacturer of the chicken feed product.

This chemical was found in the liver of 50% of all chicken tested so FDA asked the manufacturer to stop producing arsenic containing drug.

It was proved that this harmful ingredient is sold in dozen other countries. The regulators have to ban this chemical, they are in charge.

However, FDA proves that low level of arsenic in chicken is still safe for consumption. All the scientists, nutritionists and doctors claim, prove and explains that arsenic increases the risk of cancer.

The National Chicken Council is another institution that supports FDA. Many studies and researches have been made about this case, but the chicken meat is still present on the US market.

However, we will present chicken devours some advices that may find them useful:

-Do not forget to read the date on the package

-You should make sure that the fat content on the meat is not pastry or gray, but white to deep yellow.

-Avoid the chicken at all costs if the meat is bright pink.

-Opt for Certified Organic meat products. It is definitely the safest way for all of us.

Did You Know that Using a Potato you can Light a Room for a Month?! – VIDEO

A team of researchers who were trying to find alternative power sources discovered that potatoes are a great source of energy. Potatoes that were cooked for 8 minutes can produce 10 times more power than regular batteries.


Haim Rabinovitch, a professor of science and agriculture, and his team discovered a revolutionary new way to produce electric energy. They took potato slices, placed them between a copper cathode and a zinc anode, connected them with a wire and discovered that this design can be used to light up a room with LED lights for up to 40 days.

They were able to demonstrate that potatoes can power up electronic devices with the tenth of a price of regular AA batteries.


This is an extraordinary discovery if we take into account some general facts about potatoes.

Firstly, they can grow almost anywhere, in every climate and during every season.

Secondly, the world abounds in potatoes; there is never a shortage of potatoes.

Lastly, we need to remember that potatoes are not a source of energy. They are merely providing energy by acting as a bridge between all the metal. They enable the electrons to travel across the wire, thus creating electricity.

And the best thing is that potatoes are rich in starch which enables them to be stored for months without becoming an insect target.

15 Ingredients in McDonald’s Fries Linked to Brain Damage, Autoimmune Disease and CANCER!

A recent exposé of McDonald’s french-fry making process revealed a number of ingredients used in it have been linked to brain damage, autoimmune disorders, cancer and more.


Grant Imahara, of Mythbusters fame, recently visited the McDonald’s fry factory to find out exactly what McDonald’s fries are made of. During the process, Imahara “reverse-engineered” McDonald’s fries to find out the 15 ingredients that they are made up of. The ingredients are as follows:

-Potatoes
-Canola oil
-Soybean oil
-Hydrogenated soybean oil
-Natural beef flavor
-Hydrolyzed wheat
-Hydrolyzed milk
-Citric acid
-Dimethylpolysiloxane
-Dextrose
-Sodium acid pyrophosphate
-Salt
-Hydrogenated oil
-TBHQ (Tertiary butylhydroquinone)
-The three main offenders found in this list of ingredients are dimethylpolysiloxane, TBHQ and hydrogenated soybean oil.

Dimethylpolysiloxane is a compound that is commonly used in aquarium tank sealants, hair conditioners and silly putty. Sometimes it can even contain formaldehyde, a well-known toxic chemical that has been linked to brain damage, allergies, autoimmune disorders and cancer.

TBHQ, or tertiary butylhydroquinone, is a type of phenol that is used to prevent deterioration of food, however it is often found in substances such as perfume and bio-diesel.

Hydrogenated soybean oil has come under criticism for the unhealthy effects it has on people who consume in regularly. According to researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health and the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, at least 100,000 cardiac deaths that happen every year in the United States could have been prevented “if people replaced trans fat with healthier non hydrogenated polyunsaturated or monounsaturated oils.”

The release of this information for the public is part of what McDonalds calls the “Our Food. Your Questions” campaign, which is an initiative to make nutritional information more available for customers.

“After listening carefully to our customers and identifying some of the challenges we were up against, McDonald’s created a transparent line of communication via the interactive, online Q&A platform,” the company said in a statement to Global News.

Although McDonald’s has been making their ingredients information more transparent due to customer demand, they have made no indication of any plans on changing their ingredients for the same reason.
