Does Stevia provide any real health benefits and advantages?
Studies have shown that stevia-consumers haven’t had any of the sweet cravings that sugar and some alternative sweeteners induced. The blood-sugar profiles were also stable.
This suggest to us that stevia and diabetes have more to do than we previously thought. Not only is it a good zero-carb diabetes-friendly alternative for sugar, but it actually helps increasing insulin sensitivity, which is especially helpful for insulin-resistant diabetic people.
Overall, it looks like an ideal all-around savior for diabetic patients.
Additional studies have shown that Stevia has a positive effect on:
– memory preservation
– oxidative damage
– cholesterol reduction
– hypertension and blood pressure reduction
– atherosclerosis
– reducing tumors and cancer growth.
