Stevia is a great sugar substitute known to help regulate blood sugar, helps to lower high blood pressure, aids in weight loss by decreasing the desire for sugary foods.
Stevia rebaudiana-
known as "sweet herb", this plant is 25 times sweeter than sugar
when made as an infusion with 1 teaspoon stevia leaves to 1 cup of water. Two
drops of this infusion equal 1 teaspoon of sugar in sweetness. It is safe for
people with diabetes as it is does not change blood glucose levels. It does
have a bit of an aftertaste you need to get used to.
There are some healing benefits of stevia as well.
Stevia is known to help regulate blood sugar, helps to lower high blood
pressure, aids in weight loss by decreasing the desire for sugary foods.
Some people even report that it reduces their desire for tobacco and alcoholic
beverages. Stevia is also used in facemasks to smooth out wrinkles and heal skin
blemishes and acne. So why don''t we see more of it? Apparently the import of
stevia was heavily influenced by Nutrasweet politics.
I think this is a good product. I actually bought a stevia plant from Wal-Mart
for my herb patch. It was fun to grow and see what I was actually providing for
my clients in tincture and powder form. It's and annual plant and grows quite
well. You harvest the leaves just as the flowers bloom, dry them, and then use
them in teas, or crumble them up and use them in cooking. I don't know yet how
to use it in baking, but when you can't have sugar. . .you probably shouldn't be
eating baked goods anyway!
You can get stevia drops or packets in your local health food store.
