Stevioside is an extract from stevia sweetener, a natural herb from South America. Stevia has been available in the USA since the mid 1990s, and thus far no significant side effects have been reported. Stevioside is an active extract from stevia herb and appears to have health benefits such as potential anti cancer and blood pressure lowering effects. The World Health Organization (W. H. O. ) in 2006, performed a thorough evaluation of the recent studies of Stevioside and Steviols on animals and humans and concluded that Stevioside and Rebaudioside A are not toxic and that no evidence of carcinogenic activity was found. The W. H. O. Also noted that Stevioside has a pharmacological effect in patients with hypertension (lowers elevated blood pressure) and with the Type 2 diabetes (helps stabilize blood sugar levels).

Product Characteristics
SAFE
Stevia has been consumed for over 400 years at its place of origin in Paraguay. To-date, no harmful illness has been associated with stevia. Stevioside does not participate in human's metabolism. It does not accumulate within the body, it is non-toxic and its safety has been recognized by both the FAO and WHO. Stevia has been widely used in Japan where there is no upper limit on the quantity that may be consumed for this type of sweetener. The Ministry of Health in China in 1985 and again in 1990 separately approved stevia as the natural sweetener and a supplement as sweetener agent for medicine applications.
HIGH SWEETNESS
Stevia's sweetness is 200-300 times that of cane sugar. Stevioside and RebaudiosideA are the main components of Stevia. The sweetness is pure, cool and lasting and its natural sweetness resembles that of cane sugar. In comparison to cane sugar, we can reduce significantly the cost of production and save at least 60% in costs. At the same time, we will be able to save the transportation and warehousing components of expenses.
