All you need to know about Everyday Sweet
Everyday Sweet by Trunativ is crafted to bring the joy of sweetness without the drawbacks of sugar. Inspired by nature and backed by science, Everyday Sweet combines monk fruit and erythritol to provide a zero calorie, 1:1 sugar replacer that can be used in everyday life.
In this guide; The Sweet Truth, we aim to debunk common myths around monk fruit, erythritol, and sweeteners to empower you with real facts.
How did we make Everyday Sweet?
Monk fruit is sourced from Southern China, thoroughly washed, and cleaned.
The fruit is peeled and de-seeded to extract its essential components.
Juice is extracted to obtain the key sweetener, mogrosides.
Mogrosides are dried and combined with erythritol to create a sugar substitute.
What’s Erythritol?
Erythritol belongs to a class of compounds called sugar alcohols. It naturally occurs in many fruits and vegetables, including grapes, melons, and pears. For more than 30 years, erythritol has also been commercially produced through a fermentation process, like those used to make bread and cheese. Their molecules are structured to stimulate the sweet taste receptors on your tongue.
The story of Monk Fruit
Monk fruit, also known as Luo Han Guo, is a small, round fruit found in Southern China. Used for medicinal reasons since antiquity, monk fruits are almost like magic. While regular fruits get their sweetness from Fructose and Glucose, the monk fruit gets its sugary taste from a unique anti-oxidant called Mogrosides.
Everyday Sweet is a 1:1 Sugar replacement!
So why not just Monk Fruit?
Here’s the twist—Monk Fruit’s sweetness is so intense, it needs a partner to bring it into balance. That’s where Erythritol, a natural sugar alcohol with 60% of sugar’s sweetness, steps in, adding body, texture, and balance. Here is what's inside one Everyday Sweets sachet:
Together, they create Everyday Sweet, a perfect duet that tastes, bakes, and sweetens just like sugar—without a trace of calories or aftertaste. Approved by the FDA and WHO, it’s a dream come true for anyone looking to savor sweetness without the downsides. Everyday Sweet is nature’s way of letting us have our sweetness and enjoy it too.
Debunking Sweetener Myths
One sweet truth at a time!
The sweet truth
Erythritol, for over 30 years has been produced through fermentation processes, similar to those used in bread. cheese, and beer production. In 1999, erythritol received the highest safety rating from the World Health Organization (WHO). A February 2023 study suggested a potential link between erythritol and heart disease but had key limitations: The dosage given to subjects was three times what's typically found in drinks, and the study involved individuals already at high risk for cardiovascular issues, such as older adults with diabetes and showed only associations, not causation.
#1 Erythritol directly increases the risk of heart disease.
#2 Monk Fruit alone could easily replace sugar, so adding Erythritol is unnecessary.
The sweet truth
Sweetness should feel natural, like real sugar—not like a pill or a drop. Monk Fruit, though 200 times sweeter than sugar, is far too intense to stand alone and lacks sugar’s familiar texture. That’s where Erythritol comes in. With a mild sweetness (60% that of sugar), it balances Monk Fruit’s intensity and adds the body that real sugar brings. Together, they create a sugar replacer that gives you the experience of sugar without the calories, aftertaste, or insulin spikes.
The sweet truth
Monk fruit contains zero calories and is a blood sugar-friendly alternative to caloric sweeteners. Erythritol is a beneficial sugar substitute for both healthy individuals and diabetics, as it has no effect on blood glucose or insulin levels. It stimulates gut hormones like cholecystokinin (CCK) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which help reduce appetite and support weight loss. Replacing table sugar and other caloric sweeteners with ingredients like monk fruit & Erythritol can help cut back on calories, which could be especially beneficial for those trying to lose weight.
#3 Sweeteners hinder weight management.
#4 Using sweeteners might spike blood glucose levels.
The sweet truth
This is also a myth! People with diabetes or those reducing sugar intake can use calorie-free sweeteners as a sugar alternative. Studies have found that sweeteners, such as those derived from monk fruit, do not affect blood glucose levels. Similarly, erythritol does not impact blood sugar or insulin levels.
The sweet truth
The World Health Organization has set no specific daily limit for erythritol, deeming it safe based on extensive studies. Detailed toxicity studies on mice, rats, and dogs have determined that erythritol has no carcinogenic or teratogenic potential. Erythritol is well-tolerated, with upper limits of about 0.66 grams per kg for men and 0.80 grams for women. For example, an average Indian adult male weighing 65 kg can safely consume around 42.9 grams daily. The allowable daily intake is higher than most people would typically consume, with even small amounts satisfying daily needs.
#5 Sweeteners are unsafe for daily use.
#6 Sweeteners are complicated to use.
The sweet truth
For most of us, sweetness is simple. It’s a spoonful of sugar stirred into tea or sprinkled over cereal—not a pill or a drop.

That’s why Everyday Sweet was made as a 1:1 sugar replacer. It looks like sugar, tastes like sugar, and measures like sugar. One spoonful of Everyday Sweet sweetens just like one spoonful of regular sugar. No guessing, no complicated conversions.
But how many Everyday Sweet sachets can you consume?
An average Indian adult consumes more than 25 grams of sugar daily. Much more than the upper limit of sugar consumption!

Their molecules are structured to stimulate the sweet taste receptors on your tongue.

The story of Monk Fruit
Monk fruit, also known as Luo Han Guo, is a small, round fruit found in Southern China. Used for medicinal reasons since antiquity, monk fruits are almost like magic. While regular fruits get their sweetness from Fructose and Glucose, the monk fruit gets its sugary taste from a unique anti-oxidant called Mogrosides.

Debunking Sweetener Myths
One sweet truth at a time!
One sweet truth at a time!
The sweet truth
Erythritol, for over 30 years has been produced through fermentation processes, similar to those used in bread. cheese, and beer production. In 1999, erythritol received the highest safety rating from the World Health Organization (WHO). A February 2023 study suggested a potential link between erythritol and heart disease but had key limitations: The dosage given to subjects was three times what's typically found in drinks, and the study involved individuals already at high risk for cardiovascular issues, such as older adults with diabetes and showed only associations, not causation.

#1 Erythritol directly increases the risk of heart disease.
#2 Monk Fruit alone could easily replace sugar, so adding Erythritol is unnecessary.
The sweet truth
Sweetness should feel natural, like real sugar—not like a pill or a drop. Monk Fruit, though 200 times sweeter than sugar, is far too intense to stand alone and lacks sugar’s familiar texture. That’s where Erythritol comes in. With a mild sweetness (60% that of sugar), it balances Monk Fruit’s intensity and adds the body that real sugar brings. Together, they create a sugar replacer that gives you the experience of sugar without the calories, aftertaste, or insulin spikes.

The sweet truth
Monk fruit contains zero calories and is a blood sugar-friendly alternative to caloric sweeteners. Erythritol is a beneficial sugar substitute for both healthy individuals and diabetics, as it has no effect on blood glucose or insulin levels. It stimulates gut hormones like cholecystokinin (CCK) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which help reduce appetite and support weight loss. Replacing table sugar and other caloric sweeteners with ingredients like monk fruit & Erythritol can help cut back on calories, which could be especially beneficial for those trying to lose weight.

#3 Sweeteners hinder weight management.
#4 Using sweeteners might spike blood glucose levels.
The sweet truth
This is also a myth! People with diabetes or those reducing sugar intake can use calorie-free sweeteners as a sugar alternative. Studies have found that sweeteners, such as those derived from monk fruit, do not affect blood glucose levels. Similarly, erythritol does not impact blood sugar or insulin levels.

The sweet truth
The World Health Organization has set no specific daily limit for erythritol, deeming it safe based on extensive studies. Detailed toxicity studies on mice, rats, and dogs have determined that erythritol has no carcinogenic or teratogenic potential. Erythritol is well-tolerated, with upper limits of about 0.66 grams per kg for men and 0.80 grams for women. For example, an average Indian adult male weighing 65 kg can safely consume around 42.9 grams daily. The allowable daily intake is higher than most people would typically consume, with even small amounts satisfying daily needs.

#6 Sweeteners are complicated to use.
The sweet truth
For most of us, sweetness is simple. It’s a spoonful of sugar stirred into tea or sprinkled over cereal—not a pill or a drop. Using sugar feels natural, familiar, and we know exactly how much we need. But with other sweeteners, matching that sweetness can feel confusing, like learning a whole new way to measure.
That’s why Everyday Sweet was made as a 1:1 sugar replacer. It looks like sugar, tastes like sugar, and measures like sugar. One spoonful of Everyday Sweet sweetens just like one spoonful of regular sugar. No guessing, no complicated conversions.
