What is Stevia?

I've been telling my colleagues about the dangers of too much sugar and recommending an alternative herbal sweetner called STEVIA.

Stevia is a shrub native to Central and South America. It specifically contains two extracts called steviosides and rebaudiosides, which are 250-300 times sweeter than sugar.

BUT, unlike sugar, stevia does not contain carbohydrates and will not cause dangerous spikes in blood sugar levels.

Be careful and read the labels of everything you buy, including vitamins and other supplements. And be conscious of added sugar.
