Rebaudioside in stevia is a 100% natural sugar substitute. Unlike other artificial sweeteners, it does not have a bitter after-taste. The alkaloids in stevia extracts are helpful to diabetics and weight management. VESTIGE STEVIA A South American native sweetener plant of sunflower family, Stevia rebaudiana, commonly known as sweet leaf, sugar leaf, or simply stevia, is the only natural sweetener. Stevia's taste slowly sets in and stays longer than the taste of sugar. It is the only natural sweetener which does not have any side effects. Stevia extracts are usually 300 times sweeter than sugar. Opposed to sucrose, which is what normal table sugar consists of, stevia sweetens food in a similar way as sugar, but it contains rebaudioside, which is a non-carbohydrate glycoside compound. When rebaudioside breaks down, the glycose-containing particles are absorbed by the bacteria in the colon, rather than being absorbed into the bloodstream and affecting glucose levels in the body. It is believed to reduce the calories from the food which makes it a suitable option for the calorie-conscious as well as diabetics. What is Stevia?
