We recently met up with Debi Mazar at a luncheon hosted by Truvia in New York City. The popular actress, currently co-starring in Extra Virgin alongside her husband on the Cooking Channel, has recently taking up the cause for healthier children, and her efforts have started inside her own home. She has two daughters who she’s teaching the benefits of a healthy lifestyle, and the effort is a family affair.
Watch our interview as she explains the four ways you can raise healthier kids. Her tips include sitting down to family dinners and reducing the amount of sugar your children consume, a culprit in the childhood obesity epidemic.

I’m all for practicing moderation. This is what allows me to eat a healthful diet of lean proteins, whole grains and a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, and still have room for something indulgent once in a while. While I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, a brownie is my weakness. So when I make them, once in a while, I do so from scratch using ingredients like whole grain flour and Greek yogurt, allowing me to have greater control over what I’m eating than what I’d find in a pre-mix box.
That’s why I was excited to try baking with Truvia. In its new Truvia Spoonable, a re-closable container, you have greater quantity at hand allowing you to bake without having to open 50 of those tiny packages! This all-natural, zero-calorie sweetener actually helped me turn out a pretty delicious brownie. A brownie that had three grams of sugar less than a typical one.
Truvia is the newest, zero-calories, natural sweetener to hit the market. Truvia was developed by Cargill and Coca-Cola. “Sweetness born from a leaf, not in a lab,” they say about the product. Truvia is made from the stevia plant, which is a native plant of South America. The stevia plant is not new and has been used as a sweetener in South America and Japan for centuries. However, in the US, thus far stevia has only been sold as a dietary supplement due to FDA concerns. The ingredient list of Truvia includes: Rebiana, Erythritol, and natural flavors.
Ribana portion comes from the sweet leaf of the stevia plant. These leaves are picked, dried, then submerged into water, which unlocks the sweetness portion and is then purified.
Erythritol is a naturally occurring fermented sugar alcohol (found in grapes and pears). (more…)
