1 ~ Stevia is a natural herbal sweetener that actually helps regulate blood sugar.
2 ~ Stevia is great for diabetics, hypoglycemics and anyone trying to kick the sugar habit.

5 ~ Stevia products vary widely, so if you have tried one and didn't like it - try another brand! (There are a couple that are a bit nasty.)
