STEVIA TABS - HERBAL SWEETENER - ALL NATURAL - NON TOXIC - ZERO CALORIE.

Do you really know how your artificial calorie free sweetener is safe?
The artificial calorie free sweetener is now widely available world over and being produced and propagated by huge MNC Pharmaceutical companies. The artificial sweetener salt is technically known as ASPARTAME which was accidently made by G.D.Searle Pharma Company in quest of making an ulcer drug. According to experts aspartic acid in aspartame is a neuro-transmitter, one of class of chemical manufactured and used by the brain. It is believed that aspartic acid causes brain lesions by literally exciting brain cells to death. In nature, methyl alcohol (or methanol) occurs in combination with ethyl alcohol, its antidote. Only in aspartame, does methyl alcohol appear alone. Once ingested, methanol converts to formaldehyde, which not surprisingly, affects the brain. It is then further converted to formic acid (ant sting poison) which causes metabolic acidosis. Absorption of methanol is hastened when aspartame has broken down, as it does when it is heated, (added to hot beverages or baked goods) or decomposes during prolonged storage. Methyl alcohol is specifically toxic to the optic nerve and has been known to cause blindness. Other specific types of reactions which were published in the Journal of Applied Nutrition in 1988 included: extreme irritability, severe anxiety attacks, marked personality changes, recent severe insomnia, and severe aggravation of phobias (2).

What is Stevia?
Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni, a perennial shrub is GOD's own Sweetener. Stevia is native to the Amambay Mountain region of Paraguay. It has been enjoyed by the Guarani Indians for hundreds of years, who use it primarily to sweeten their herbal mat tea. Concentrated Stevia is a high potency sweetener, which is 150 to170 times sweeter than sugar. Stevia actually balances blood sugar levels, and is safe for use by both diabetics and hypoglycaemic. Unlike aspartame, there are no reports of adverse effects of using Stevia and scientific studies throughout the world prove out its safety. Stevia reduces the craving for sweets, making it the ideal sweetener for a society desperate to lose weight. Also unlike sugar, Stevia reduces cavities by retarding the growth of plaque. Stevia contains antiseptic properties which have proven beneficial in speeding the healing process of skin wounds. It has also been used as a digestive aid in Latin America. According to WHO Stevia is an herbal Medicine with healing values. Extracts from the leaf of the Stevia plant have been found to be high in antioxidants that prevent the DNA damage that leads to cancer, according to a new Indian study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. "These results indicate that Stevia rebaudiana may be useful as a potential source of natural antioxidants," said lead author Srijani Ghanta, of the Indian Institute of Chemical Biology in Kolkata, India (3).

What is the history of Stevia?
Stevia has been enjoyed by the Guarani Indians for centuries and came to attention in 18th century. In 1899, Stevia was 'rediscovered' by Italian botanist, Moises Santiago Bertoni. This set the stage for the cultivation of Stevia. The first Stevia crop was harvested in 1908. Soon plantations began flourishing throughout South America and abroad. Stevia was first brought to the attention of the US Government in 1918 by a US Botanist. Since then Stevia is being grown and enjoyed in such countries as China, Japan, Brazil, Israel, Malaysia, and Germany. Japan started cultivating Stevia in the 1950's and by the 1970's and today, they are the biggest users of the extract, which has captured 50% of Japan's sweetener industry.
