February 26, 2010 Stevia – The Sweetness You Love. Naturally.

Stevia is a natural sweetener that has no calories. Stevia has been consumed by hundreds of millions of people across the globe for many years and is finally available for US consumers.

Stevia rebaudiana, the scientific name for the plant that produces Stevia, is a small tree native to South America that has been used as a natural sweetener for several hundred years. Stevia is also very popular and widely consumed in Asia. “Reb A,” the official name for the stevia sweetener, is an agricultural product that is extracted from the leaf of the stevia tree by boiling the leaf in water. Stevia is extremely sweet in very small amounts just like the artificial sweeteners are – EXCEPT that Stevia is a natural gift that nature has provided us., not an artificial chemical. Thus, it fits the all-natural guidelines that we have set for Svelte.

Consumed worldwide by millions for years, Stevia has now been declared “Generally Recognized as Safe” or “GRAS” in the United States by the FDA. You can benefit from this natural sweetener.

Stevia gives Svelte the natural sweetness level that you enjoy, without the excess sugar that would otherwise add extra calories and cause your blood sugar to bounce up and down.

Stevia is another key piece of the puzzle of how Svelte gives you the taste you crave, with the Natural and Organic nutrition you seek, resulting in the energy you need to get through your day with balanced, wholesome and healthful nutrition.
