The stevia plant is native Meridian Health Protocol Review to South America and is extremely sweet in comparison to table sugar.Steviosides and rebaudiosides are the natural compounds in stevia that create its sweet taste, but contain much fewer calories than sugar. It's important to buy the actual dried herb or ground, green stevia, and not the white stevia, as this is a telltale sign of bleaching and processing.
I would also avoid liquid stevia.One sweetener I do not recommend is agave nectar, even though it is heavily marketed as natural, and supposedly low on the glycemic index. Agave is, in fact, highly processed in a way similar to corn syrup, and is a new to the human diet. The original, traditional version of agave is the sweet water from the agave plant, called aguamiel.
Native Mexicans have used this light, natural sweetener for hundreds of years; however, agave has been a manufactured product only since the 1990s. Through industrial processing, the agave extract becomes highly concentrated in fructose, and depending on the manufacturer, can contain 55% fructose, the same amount in high-fructose corn syrup, all the way up to 90% fructose!
