You may have heard about Stevia in the news lately. Or, perhaps you've seen TV ads for "Truvia," a product made from Stevia. Stevia is being described as the "new" zero calorie sweetener, but it's actually been around in health food stores for a long time.
It is exciting to see Stevia being used in mainstream products and being sold in mainstream grocery stores, because it is a much healthier option than sugar or artificial sweeteners such as Equal or Splenda.
Stevia is an herb and it is 100% natural. It has zero calories and does not affect blood sugar levels. It is 100x sweeter than sugar, so a little goes a long way. I haven't big a huge fan of the taste, as I found it to have an aftertaste similar to that of artificial sweeteners. I have found that clients who use artificial sweeteners transition very well to using Stevia.
Be on the lookout for Truvia in your grocery store.
