Stevia Plant Health Benefits

Many people are asking me more about Stevia.

Listen to Diana Walker’s Podcast on Health Benefits of Stevia

Stevia Health Benefits

Stevia comes from a plant – the Stevia plant is natural and the leaves are very sweet.  Stevia health benefits have been documented for centuries.

Truvia, Coca Cola, Pepsi

Truvia – artificial, white powder

Truvia – you can tell it is a chemical – because you can’t “patent” a plant, and yet the companies are using a patent because the huge companies are adulterating the original Stevia plant made by nature.

Huge companies — Coke, Coca Cola, Pepsi Cola – all are trying to profit from the Stevia plant.  Do you think they have your highest good in mind?

They are, as usual, interested in money and profit.  They are not using a natural product because they think it is better for you and your family.  They are just “jumping on the bandwagon” because we are all concerned about nutrition now.

You can do a Search on Truvia.  This is a WHITE POWDER.  Does that look anything like a green plant?  I personally would not use this.

Sunrider Stevia

The liquid Sunrider Stevia is what I have used for 12 years now and I love it.

It does not have a bitter aftertaste.  Sunrider Stevia still has the wonderful healthy benefits of the original stevia plant, because Dr. Chen, the founder of Sunrider, is a Master Herbalist and takes great care in keeping the juices close to nature.  Dr. Tei Fu Chen preserves the natural structure found in its whole food form.
Just like when you juice a carrot, you will get the powerful nutrition that is in the carrot.

Now, the liquid stevias that are available in the Health Food store may be closer to nature than the Truvia is.  However, they often have a bitter aftertaste.  The great thing is that the stevia does not elevate blood sugar levels and is virtually zero calories.  It is definitely far superior to sugar and to deadly artificial sweeteners.

Stevia Equivalents to Sugar

You really have to experiment to see how much Stevia tastes fine for you.

Generally it can be assumed that 2 to 3 drops of liquid Stevia will equal 1 teaspoon of sugar.

Wishing you a Sweet Stevia day!
