Stevia, the natural sweetener used by many as a healthy alternative to aspartame, is now better than ever. Thanks to eight years of cross-pollination and selection, our new Stevia plants have a very low Stevioside content and a very high Rebaudioside A content. Stevioside is the high glycoside in the Stevia plant that imparts a bitter taste. By reducing the amount of stevioside in the plant, we have eliminated the bitterness or aftertaste that some consumers experience when using Stevia.
Our new Super Sweet Stevia has a cleaner, improved sweetness. In fact, it is one and a half times sweeter than South American or Chinese Stevia. We recently increased our production of Super Sweet Stevia to meet the demands of our customers.
Advantages of new, super pure Stevia:
· 100% Natural with no artificial preservatives or additives
· No Malto-Dextrin, No FOS
· Special filtering removes bitterness of some Stevia products
· No refrigeration necessary, so you can carry it with you
· Anti-cavity and plaque retardant
· Antibiotic; great as a mouth wash or for sore throats
· Use for baking (1/8 teaspoon of Stevia replaces 1 cup sugar)
· Aid diabetics and hypoglycemics
· Rich in nutrients
· Great for hyperactive children

Dr. Whitaker's Newsletter, Dec. 1994
"Stevia...is not only non-toxic, but has several traditional medicinal uses. The Indian tribes of South America have used it as a digestive aid, and have also applied it topically for years to help wound healing. Recent clinical studies have shown it can increase glucose tolerance and decrease blood sugar levels. Of the two sweeteners (aspartame and Stevia), Stevia wins hands down for safety."
Leigh Broadhurst, Ph.D
Chemist and Nutritional Consultant
"All the benefits of saccharin and none of the drawbacks. When used correctly, Stevia doesn't have a taste...it's just sweet, unlike saccharin, which becomes quickly bitter when overused. Much more concentrated than aspartame."
Robert C. Atkins, M. D.
From Dr. Atkins "Health Revelations" Newsletter, April 1994
"Stevia has virtually no calories. It dissolves easily in water and mixes well with all other sweeteners...I used it myself in delicious homemade ice cream that is extremely low in carbohydrates."
