Customer Reviews of Stevia 4 oz (112 g) Pwdr

Customer Review: Stevia is much sweeter than sugar so use about 1/10th as much in place of sugar.
Summary: 5 Stars

This "Swanson Stevia powder" is good stuff and this among the most economical and user-friendly ways to buy Stevia.

WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT:

Sweeter than sugar, that's what Stevia is, but that's not all.

Stevia has been shown to lower blood sugar levels in research involving healthy adults by increasing the secretion of insulin making Stevia useful for diabetics.

It also improves digestion and gastrointestinal function, and is useful for upset stomachs and to reduce gas and stomach acidity. Several recent studies have shown that it may improve the heart's muscle tone and promote the body's water loss. These properties are thought to contribute to lower blood pressure.

Stevia also has antiviral, antimicrobial and antibacterial characteristics. It's used for relieving bleeding gums, sore throats and cold sores in South America and Japan. Stevia has been shown to inhibit plaque formation and bacterial growth causing gum disease and tooth decay, and will not cause cavities. It may even reduce cravings for sweets which coupled with its lack of calories may be helpful in weight loss.

ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE SUGGESTS EVEN MORE:

There is anecdotal evidence that Stevia is good for skin problems like acne, cold sores, dermatitis and eczema, and may speed up the healing of cuts and scratches. There have even been reports that Stevia may be useful as a contraceptive, but that has not yet been substantiated by research.

FDA APPROVAL TO BE SOLD AS A FOOD SUPPLEMENT -- NOT A SWEETENER

Most of all, Stevia, unlike the artificial sweeteners we put in everything from soda to psyllium does not come with any health warnings from the FDA, and it will probably do you no harm. However, Stevia has not been approved to be sold as a sweetener even though it is a NATURAL SWEETENER LIKE SUGAR. Nevertheless, Stevia has been approved [since 1994] to be sold as a dietary supplement in the United States.

AFTER ALL THE SMOKE HAS CLEARED THIS IS FOOD - USE IT BY EATING IT!

Stevia can be substituted for sugar. It is a bit different tasting if one is use to sugar. I use it on many things where I can eliminate large amounts of honey and/or sugar such as;

1]- Herbal Tea, instead of sugar or honey.

2]- In multi-grain hot cereal, when you need to sweeten it, Stevia saves me a tablespoon of honey and a tablespoon of sugar per large bowl. In this case I just add about a teaspoon of honey and 1/8 teaspoon of stevia for the same effect. Stevia is much sweeter than sugar so use about 1/10th as much in place of sugar.

3]- Iced Tea.

MEDICINALLY SPEAKING:

A standardized extract of 57 mg. containing 85% "steviocides" in a beverage, is what Doctor James A. Duke, suggests in his famous, "The Green Pharmacy Herbal Handbook".

ABOUT FORMS AND BRANDS:

I prefer Stevia in powder over the packets, as I can better measure, and use what I need for each individual use. Purchase Stevia in whatever form you are most comfortable using.

This "Swanson" brand Stevia powder is an excellent product and a terrific value. "Planetary Formulas Stevia Powder 3.5 oz." is also excellent and it comes in a liquid as well. "Now" and "Nature's Way" are both excellent too, and have Stevia in powder, liquid and packets for convenient use. Any of the above choices are excellent, and I have used them all at one time or another, over the past 3-4 years on a daily basis.


Customer Review: Switching to Stevia instantly alleviated the digestive system discomfort from using artificial sweeteners.
Summary: 5 Stars

This powder sweetens anything you choose to mix it with. I use it to sweeten baked goods, iced tea, cereal, coffee, fruit instead of artificial sweeteners because it works and enhances good health instead of harming it. It is the only sweetener I recommend as a substitute for sugar. Switching to Stevia instantly alleviated the digestive system discomfort from using artificial sweeteners. The powder form in bulk is more cost effective than individual packets. The expense is justified because Stevia is a natural plant health food and useful for hypoglycemia sufferers.

Description of Stevia 4 oz (112 g) Pwdr
