What is Stevia Leaf Extract?
Stevia, scientifically known as Stevia rebaudiana, is a sweet-tasting plant with over 150 species growing in North and South America. Commonly used as an alternative sweetener to table sugar, its primary chemical components are stevioside and rebaudioside A. Stevia leaf extract is a more concentrated form of stevia, featuring rebaudioside A, also known as rebiana. Estimated to be 300-400 times sweeter than regular table sugar, this variation on stevia has received FDA approval. You will find this extract in many different beverages and sweetened products, as well as some candies and desserts.
Stevia is highly praised because of its low caloric count, significantly less than common sucrose; in fact, most people consider stevia to be a "zero-calorie" additive since it has such a minimal amount of carbohydrates. The USFDA has given the nod to high-purity steviol glycosides to be marketed and added to food products in the US. They are usually found in cookies, candies, chewing gum, and beverages, among others.
Cutting back on sugars has also been linked to better weight control and a drop in obesity. The damage that an excess of sugar can have on the body is well known, and it is linked with greater susceptibility to allergies and an increased risk of chronic disease.
