Stevia is a natural plant with leaves 40x sweeter than cane sugar, without the same harmful side effects to our bodies. The plant properties protect against heart attacks and strokes, and alleviate high blood pressure. It also helps treat skin conditions like excema and dermatitis when used topically. Stevia helps manage diabetes and aids in weight loss as it's a sweetener that won't spike blood sugar and doesn't pack a lot of calories. It can help prevent cancer, cavities, and gingivitis, and also boosts bone health while preventing osteoporosis. The stevia plant properties prevent premature aging and cognitive malfunction. One word of caution, those who are allergic to ragweed and dandelions may find they want to stay away from stevia, as it may cause similar allergic reactions. When choosing stevia, look for stevia extract that is 100% pure and doesn't include additives.
