Common Uses: Diabetes * Weight Loss *
Properties:
Parts Used:
Constituents:

The active photochemical in stevia leaves, stevioside, is at least one hundred times sweeter than sugar, the amount varies from leaf to leaf and plant to plant. An all natural zero calories herbal sweetner that is good for you, the leaf adds no calories, and has no harmful side effects. Some people dont like the licorice-like aftertaste, but personally I find it a pleasant and guilt free alternative to sugar. Only available at health food stores and online, it can only be marketed as a dietary supplement, not a sweetner, due to some very strange FDA rules.
