Stevia - Naturally Sourced Sweetener

Hey Hey Peeps,


This post is a follow up to my post yesterday about the negative side effects of Spelnda.


STEVIA - Is a naturally sourced sweetener produced from plants. It is extracted from the leaf of the Stevia plant (Stevia Rebaudiana), and is completely natural and harmless to consume on a daily basis. Although if you are pregnant or have low blood pressure, you should avoid it still.


It’s an excellent alternative to Splenda, and other sweeteners that are full of chemicals like Aspartame & Sorbital. These chemical sweeteners are so bad for you and can cause a number of negative side effects like, headaches, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, blurred vision, and weight gain.


This natural food product can be found at any grocery store, or health food store. It’s also produced by a number of different companies, like PC, etc. I think there is even a “Stevia” brand of its own.
I use Stevia in my coffee every day. Half a package is all you need. A little bit goes a long way.
