What is Stevia?

Stevia is a natural herbal extract that is 300 times as sweet as sugar and calorie free. Stevia has a pleasant taste without the bitterness or aftertaste of artificial sweeteners. Stevia does not affect blood sugar levels and is suitable for diabetics and for hypoglycemics. Stevia also has been shown to inhibit the growth of oral bacteria that cause tooth decay and gum disease.

Stevia can be used in beverages such as coffee and iced tea, in prepared foods and in baked goods. In Japan and South America, stevia is used by Coca-Cola as a sweetener in soft drinks.
