Stevia syrup is a highly concentrated liquid form of stevia, a no calorie natural sweetener derived from the stevia plant. Following a long cooking process, the water is withdrawn from the brown liquid through a special vacuum process. Thus the syrup is born, which represents a unique quality throughout Europe. Contains no calories or carbohydrates, and has a 0 glycemic index. Suitable for diabetics and those on a weight loss diet. May be used for cooking and baking, and in hot or cold drinks alike. One drop of the syrup is equal to 4 sugar cubes.
Besides being used as a sweetener, the syrup is also suitable for cosmetic purposes, such as for the treatment of minor inflammations, insect bites, acne, and minor wounds (which pulls together without scarring).
Besides being a natural replacement for refined sugar, stevia may be of use to those with blood sugar problems. Unlike refined sugar, it does not increase blood sugar levels. Numerous studies have shown that Stevia is promising against type 2 diabetes, regulating insulin and relieving the dependence on insulin. Other studies have reported that it may have the ability to reduce blood pressure and regulate pancreas functioning, thus aiding digestion and appetite. Regular consumption of the plant reduces appetite and the craving of sweets and greasy foods. Furthermore, stevia also has a fungicide effect, making it effective in the fight against fungal infections; it may even help cure foot fungus. Stevia is also ideal for Candida sufferes because it does not feed intestinal fungus or other microorganisms. It also has antibiotic properties, thus helping to treat bacterial lesions in the mouth, especially cavities and gum disease. Stevia also contains a significant amount of certain minerals (vitamins A and C, zinc, routine, magnesium, iron, etc.). |
