People have consumed Stevia for centuries with no known side effects. Individuals who can not tolerate sugar or other sweeteners can use Stevia. Studies suggest that Stevia has a regulating effect on the pancreas and could help stabilize blood sugar levels in the body, therefore making it wise for people with diabetes, hypoglycemia, and Candidiasis. Traditionally it is indicated as a cardiotonic, anti-gas, for obesity, to reduce acidity (heart burn), hypertension,
and to lower uric acid levels. Research also suggest that Stevia may help fight bacteria. It is considered an effective medicine to help in the maintenance of a "perfect health balance".
In regard to its sweetening power, it is estimated that 30 ml (1 oz) of Stevia extract is equivalent to 3 Kg (6.6 lbs) of sucrose. One pound of our white Stevia extract powder will do the same sweetening as 300 pounds of white sugar.
