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.
3 ~ Stevia is a wonderful aid to anyone trying to
lose weight as it has no calories and, when consumed regularly, reduces cravings for sweet and fatty foods.
4 ~ Stevia also
lowers elevated blood pressure, boosts the immune system, improves digestion and is beneficial to the skin.
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.)
6 ~ My two favorite brands are available from
Young Living Essential Oils and the
Sunrider company. (I have not found one from the health food store that I like yet.)
7 ~ Eating for Health and
Stevia Rebaudiana contain more information about stevia, as well as tips for usage and recipes.
8 ~ Baking with Stevia is a useful recipe book also available from
Young Living Essential Oils.
