Are you diabetic and looking for a safe sweetener?
Diabetic? Steviva the Natural Sweetener
Stevia a sweet plant
Mother Nature has created a sweetener to beat all sweeteners. It is naturally grown and not chemically as most sweeteners are. You can use it for sweetening drinks and is heat stable so you can use it for cooking and baking. What an amazing plant!
There is current research being done on Stevia for diabetes. The research is to see if it helps the pancreas to produce insulin. Also, they are checking to see if the plant lowers high blood pressure in patients with hypertension.
Is it safe?
Well, the Paraguay Indians have been using this herb for years to sweeten drinks and as a medicine to make it more palatable. The Japanese have discovered Stevia over 30 years ago and it is the sweetener of choice.

Can you imagine an all natural sweetener from a plant? How much more natural can you get?
Steviva is organically grown to provide the best plants and not the bitterness which can arise from poor quality plants. You will find the best quality here.
You can take this sweetener with you when you go out and sweeten your own drinks. Lemons and limes are enhanced by the flavour and sweetness of the Steviva extract. Carry it with you in your purse, your car, anywhere because you can get the individual packets. Just remember a little goes a long, long way. You only need a drop or two in your drinks to sweeten anything.
Compare that to sugar, maybe you add one or two or more of sugar to your drinks, you only need a drop or two. Sugar is a no-no in large amounts when you are a diabetic. It just messes with your insulin levels and you end up with high blood sugar. By then you feel terrible, and it could send you to the hospital. With Steviva, you only need a couple of drops, it is a natural sweetener and it won't harm your blood sugar levels and it might even help keep things on an even keel. How can you go wrong?
Two well-known soft drink companies are starting to introduce this natural sweetener is their own diet and health drinks. They are discovering the natural way of sweetening their drinks instead of using the chemically altered or made ones which are out there.
So why not use Steviva? It is natural and safe where the other sweeteners are manmade. I don't know why you would want to use anything else. With the research going sideways on some of the other well know sweeteners, using Steviva sounds like a better choice.

Steviva the Natural Sweetener
Two well-known soft drink companies are starting to introduce this natural sweetener is their own diet and health drinks. They are discovering the natural way of sweetening their drinks instead of using the chemically altered or made ones which are out there.
Stevia is a genus of about 240 species of herbs and shrubs in the sunflower family (Asteraceae), native to subtropical and tropical South America and Central America. The species Stevia rebaudiana, commonly known as sweetleaf, sweet leaf, sugarleaf, or simply stevia, is widely grown for its sweet leaves. As a sweetener and sugar substitute, stevia's taste has a slower onset and longer duration than that of sugar, although some of its extracts may have a bitter or licorice-like aftertaste at high concentrations.
With its extracts having up to 300 times the sweetness of sugar, stevia has garnered attention with the rise in demand for low-carbohydrate, low-sugar food alternatives. Medical research has also shown possible benefits of stevia in treating obesity and high blood pressure. Because stevia has a negligible effect on blood glucose, it is attractive as a natural sweetener to people on carbohydrate-controlled diets. However, health and political controversies have limited stevia's availability in many countries; for example, the United States banned it in the early 1990s unless labeled as a supplement, although in 2008 it became commercially available as a sweetener. Stevia is widely used as a sweetener in Japan, and it is available in Canada as a dietary supplement.
