What is Stevia?
Stevia is one of the most health restoring plants on earth. Native to Paraguay, stevia is a small green plant bearing leaves, which have a delicious and refreshing taste that can be 70 to 400 times sweeter than sugar, depending on the quality of the plant. As well as the intensely sweet taste, various studies have found the leaf to contain proteins, fiber, carbohydrates, iron, phosphorus, calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, zinc, rutin, vitamin A, vitamin C, and an oil that contains 53 other constituents.

Stevia as a Sweetener
Because the human body does not metabolize the sweet glycosides (they pass right through) from the leaf or any of its processed forms, the body obtains NO CALORIES from stevia.

Can Everyone Use Stevia?
If used in it's pure unadulterated form, processed forms of pure stevia DO NOT adversely affect blood glucose levels and may be used freely by both diabetics and hypoglycemics. For people with blood sugar, blood pressure or weight problems, stevia is the most desirable sweetener.

Stevia in Cooking
Unlike artificial sweeteners, the sweet glycosides do not break down in heat, which makes stevia safe to use in cooking and baking.

Health Benefits of Using Stevia
Since its introduction into the United States, numerous people have reported that taking stevia with each meal brought their blood glucose levels to near normal. Studies have shown that stevia tends to lower elevated blood pressure and it also inhibits growth of some bacteria, including the bacteria that causes tooth decay and gum disease. This explains reports of lower incidence of colds and flu's amongst those who use stevia.

Stevia is also an excellent aid in weight-loss programs; it reduces cravings for sweet and fatty foods. Taking stevia prior to each meal reduces hunger sensations.

Users of stevia, have reported that it decreases their desire for tobacco and alcoholic beverages.
