Stevia is made from plants in the chrysanthemum family and is particularly good for people with blood sugar issues as it will not raise the blood sugar and may in fact lower it.
Since white sugar is a refined product - meaning all the possible good things have been stripped out of it, stevia is an excellent sweetener for continued use. |
Exactly. It's not a "weight loss" product, just a sugar replacement. I use Stevia all the time and LOVE it. I get it online at Omni Supplements, bc you can buy big jars at great prices (rather $$$ in the stores).
Like said above, Stevia is one of the few "fake sweeteners" which does NOT elevate your blood sugar, which is key.
