Organic Traditions Stevia Leaf Powder
Stevia is a natural sweetener indigenous to the Amazon. Organic Traditions Stevia Leaf Powder is ideal for anyone on a carbohydrate-cautious diet for although it is one of the sweetest substances in nature, Stevia Leaf Powder has one of the lowest glycemic scores with no effect on blood sugar. Start with a 1/4 teaspoon of Stevia Leaf Powder and increase the amount required. Heat stable, use for baking. Create a low-glycemic smoothie by blending 1/4 to 1/2 of a teaspoon with any other Organic Traditions Superfoods or Superfruits with sufficient water (3-6 cups) to achieve the desired consistency.
What is Stevia?
The stevia rebaudiana plant is native to South America, where it has been used as a sweetener for hundreds of years. The leaf of the plant contains stevosides, a glycoside that gives stevia its strong sweetness.
Stevia is safe to use in diabetes. A non-caloric sweetener, it does not cause elevations in blood sugar the same way table sugar and other natural sugars do. It is low on the glycemic index.
Some studies are even suggesting it may be used in high doses to treat type I and II diabetes by helping to lower blood sugar. The research is not conclusive and has not yet shown a lowering effect on HbA1C, a better long-term measure of blood sugar levels. Stevia has also been shown to have minor blood pressure lowering effects, but again, the research is not conclusive. Stevia does not cause tooth decay.
Stevia can easily be used as a substitute for sugar in baking. Keep in mind it is more sweet than sugar, so you most likely will want to use less. It can be used to sweeten teas or coffee, and has been added to a number of supplements, in order to improve taste, without compromising nutrition.
Stevia, unlike many other sugar alternatives, is completely safe and relatively side effect free. Some individuals have reported nausea, bloating, dizziness and some numbness associated with long-term use. These side effects subsided as soon when the product was discontinued. Individuals who have an existing ragweed allergy may also be allergic to stevia. Stevia is not recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, as currently there is not enough research to confirm its safety. If you are currently taking medication to lower blood glucose or blood pressure, be cautious to monitor these readings when using stevia long term.
Stevia is sold in powdered form, either in individual servings, or in bulk. It can also be found in a liquid form, either in a base of alcohol or an alcohol free version.
