    Bye-bye to refined sugar and toxic artificial sugar

    Stevia is the world’s only all natural sweetener with zero calories, zero carbohydrates and a zero glycemic index. Harvested from a plant in the daisy family, stevia provides a truly delicious and healthy alternative to refined sugar or chemical/artificial sweeteners. The sweet part of the stevia herb is extracted and converted into an intensely sweet powder. This sweet powder is then blended with other all-natural ingredients to create a delicious and healthy sweetener.
    STEVITA


    Native people in Paraguay and other parts of South America have used stevia safely for centuries. This herbal sweetener is gradually finding its way into the homes of millions around the world. More recently Stevia gained popularity as a sweetener for coffees and teas, but it can sweeten just about anything you like. Because it works so well in cooking and baking, you can easily substitute refined sugar for stevia in just about any recipe.

    Since stevia has zero calories, zero carbohydrates and a zero glycemic index, it is perfect for individuals who prefer not to have their blood glucose levels fluctuate at rapid levels. This includes those with diabetes, hypo/hyperglycemia and anyone looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The glycemic index is used to measure how fast food will raise your blood glucose level. Choosing foods that produce zero fluctuations in blood glucose is an important component for long-term health because it help reduce your risk of heart disease and diabetes. By helping you reduce your calorie intake and glycemic index, stevia can be a significant contributor to any healthy weight loss plan, because stevia has detox properties. Stevia leaves contain numerous all-natural nutrients that help regulate blood sugar, including chromium, magnesium, manganese, potassium, selenium, zinc, and vitamin B3(Niacin) therefore it is an ideal sugar for diabetics.
