USES OF STEVIA

Stevia is a useful sweetener for hot and cold drinks and can be sprinkled over foods for instant sweetness.

Stevia can be used in cooking, particularly where the primary role of stevia is to add sweetness. Stevia does not caramelise and may not function so well as a direct substitute for sugar in recipes in which sugar is an integral part of the structure or texture.

The suitability of stevia in baking may vary depending on the ingredients of the stevia product itself. Some stevia products have been formulated specifically for baking, however, it is advisable to check whether these will be suitable for your sugar levels as they may contain sugar.

HEALTH BENEFITS OF STEVIA

Stevia is recognised as having properties which may result in the following health benefits:

• Blood glucose lowering
• Blood pressure lowering
• Anti-inflammatory
• Anti-tumour
• Anti-diarrheal

Triple Zero Stevia Sugar (000 Stevia Sugar) is a natural sweetener produced using a combination of pure Stevia and Erythritol, a naturally occurring nectar (sugar alcohol) found in some fruits.

It has no calories or additives, making it a suitable alternative to sugar for cooking and baking foods where sucrose (table sugar) is an ingredient. It can also be used to sweeten coffee, tea, and other hot or cold drinks, as well as sugar-free cereals and other foods.

WHAT IS ERYTHRITOL?

Erythritol is a sugar alcohol found naturally in certain fruits. It is safe to use, less sweet than sugar, and in practical terms has no calories, no additives, and a zero GI (glycaemic index). Unlike other sugar alcohols, it also has no significant laxative effect on the body.

UNIQUE BLEND

000 Stevia Sugar combines these two ingredients to produce a 100% natural sweetener which balances the sweetness of pure Stevia and removes the slight after taste it can leave, while providing a number of health benefits (see below).

IS IT SUITABLE FOR PEOPLE WITH DIABETES?

High in antioxidants and with zero calories and a zero glycaemic index, the producers of 000 Stevia Sugar claim it does not increase blood sugar levels or cause weight gain, making it highly beneficial for management of obesity and diabetes without impacting lifestyle choices. It also has no additives and has been shown to have none of the negative side effects of many sweeteners on the market.

In animal studies, Stevia has been shown to have a greater impact on reducing blood glucose than the diabetes drug glibenclamide.

WHO ELSE CAN BENEFIT FROM 000 STEVIA SUGAR?

As well as being diabetes-friendly, 000 Stevia Sugar is also known to be helpful for people struggling with:

• Obesity
• Dieting and weight management
• Tooth decay
• Sugar addiction
