Add Healthy Sweetness to Your Life

I’ve been counseling women to lay off the sugar for over 20 years.

Fortunately, there are many natural sugar substitutes that can give you the same sweetness you crave without the harmful health effects.

 

My favorite sugar substitute is Stevia.

Stevia is about 40 times sweeter than sugar, but it does not affect blood sugar levels.

In fact, studies show Stevia helps to regulate blood sugar—both fasting and postprandial (after a meal).[i]

Here are just a few more ways Stevia can support your health:

• Helps with weight loss.[ii]
• Useful in managing blood glucose in people with Type 2 diabetes.[iii]
• May promote a healthy gut microbiome[iv] and reduce risk of colon cancer.[v]
• May kill breast cancer[vi]
• Has antimicrobial properties that may reduce dental caries and tooth plaque.[vii]
• Is used in many natural skin care products to promote healthy skin.
• May have effect against Lyme disease-causing pathogens.[viii]
• Has diuretic
• Supports healthy blood pressure.[ix]
• May protect your liver.[x]

Because Stevia is heat stable, you can use it in recipes including in baked goods such as cakes and cookies. 

You can also add Stevia to your favorite beverages.

Here’s the catch… Not all Stevia sweeteners are created equal!
