Not All Stevia is Created Equal

       Even with natural sweeteners,
       we're back to reading labels.

Stevia came to us as a simple leaf from a simple plant that is 200 times sweeter than sugar.  It doesn't spike your blood sugar and has no known side effects.  It definitely is not a carcinogen like most other sugar replacements.

You once were able to buy pure stevia, unadulterated in a powder form that required only a minuscule amount to sweeten.  It is now commonly found with many brand names and usually in green packets that were meant to reflect its healthy nature.

Those manufacturers that make the green packets of sweetener know they appeal to those who are health conscious, but their greed got the better of them.  There is now stevia and then there is stevia.  You really need to read carefully to see what you are actually getting.  

Most stevia packets include extenders of some kind with the intent of making a sugar-like quantity available in each packet.  The extenders are up for grabs and unregulated.  Some you might want to reject.

​This one has more dextrose and maltodextrin than stevia.  Both added ingredients are as bad as sugar for your body.  They are usually GMO sourced, can result in weight gain, cause the body to create insulin, have a high glycemic index and are dangerous for diabetics.  In the case of maltodextrin, it can cause bloat, pain and affect gut health resulting in explosive, untrustworthy bowels.
