Stevia is a natural sweetener derived from the leaves of the Stevia plant, which is native to South America. It is known for being significantly sweeter than sugar (up to 100-300 times sweeter, depending on the form) while containing little to no calories, making it a popular sugar substitute for people looking to reduce their calorie intake or manage blood sugar levels.
- Health Benefits:
- Low-Calorie: Stevia does not contribute significant calories, which can help with weight management.
- Blood Sugar Control: Stevia may help people with diabetes because it doesn’t cause spikes in blood glucose levels, and some studies suggest it might even have beneficial effects on insulin sensitivity.
- Dental Health: Unlike sugar, stevia doesn’t contribute to tooth decay.
