Indications:
Lose Weight with Stevia: If you want to lose weight, you need to burn more calories than you take in. That statement makes sense. But how can someone easily cut out calories? Stevia could be one terrific option!

Stevia contains no calories and will not spike blood sugars. Maintaining healthy stable blood sugar levels alone will set many people down a path to a healthy weight.

Stevia is not just beneficial for weight loss. There are many other health benefits from using stevia leaf extract.

Safer for Teeth: If someone started using this sugarless sweetener to replace refined sugars in their diet, they may see a decrease of tooth decay. In 1999, an average person consumed 158 pounds of sugar a year. That means that people are consuming over 3 pounds of sugar every week!

Don't think that you consume that much sugar? Start tracking what you eat. Check out the food labels for added sugar, fructose, or high fructose corn syrup. Here is a list of just a few out of many foods that can be packed with unexpected added sugars: ketchup, baked beans, cream substitutes, salad dressings, deli meats, processed juices, etc.

One can only imagine how many teeth can be saved by replacing all of that sugar with healthier options, such as stevia. That is one of the great benefits of stevia.

Lower High Blood Pressure: Webmd.com suggests that there is research that stevia could lower high blood pressure by using between 750-1500 mg of stevioside each day.

Amanda Gardner, at CNN.com, states that researchers have linked the high consumption of fructose, another hidden sugar, with a raised risk of high blood pressure by 30%. In fact you only need to drink 2.5 cans or more of regular soda each day to increase your risk.

If more people choose to lower their risk by eliminating soda and using stevia throughout the day to sweeten water, they may have a better chance to lower their blood pressure in the future.

Lower Blood Sugars: Webmd.com also highlights other research revealing that 1000 mg of stevioside could reduce blood sugars by 18%.
