While traders “jumping in and out of the stevia marketplace” are disrupting prices and standards by peddling some “awful” extracts, high-quality stevia suppliers in it for the long-haul will ultimately prosper, according to one leading player.

Eating Desserts Regularly Helps You Lose Weight
Because then your diet won’t actually feel like a diet at all!
But don’t just take my word for it…
Recent Scientific Study PROVES That Eating
Desserts Regularly Helps You Lose Weight
In the study, the researchers split 29 girls up into 2 groups: Group A ate a dessert of their choice once a week while Group B ate desserts 4 days/week.
At the end of 3 months, the group that ate desserts 4 days per week:
- Lost more weight
- Lowered their systolic blood pressure more (the top number)
- Had a lower fasting insulin level (the lower your fasting insulin, the more fat your body BURNS)
- Had better levels of a hormone called leptin, which suppresses appetite and is involved in fat burning

How to grow stevia at home
 |
| Picture: sugarfreestevia.net |
Growing of Stevia plants is not an easy task. But once you get your stevia started, it's one of the simplest herbs to grow. It has a reputation for repelling insects, which is great for your organic garden.
If you are growing stevia for the first time keep in mind that it does well in containers. If you are planning to grow it inside, surface sow seed 8 weeks before the last frost date.
Ensure that the last frost is past and soil temperatures are in the 60 degree F range before planting your stevia in the ground. Stevia plants pout in cold soil.
Stevia needs sandy loam or rich loamy soil. It also needs full sun.
Buy starter plants
It would be difficult, at best, to start a stevia patch from scratch — that is, by planting seeds. Even if you could get them to germinate, results might well prove disappointing, since stevioside levels can vary greatly in plants grown from seed. The recommended method is rather to buy garden-ready ‘starter’ plants, which given stevia’s ‘growing’ popularity, may well be obtainable from a nursery or herbalist in your area. Prepare beds by digging deeply in well-drained soil. Add a lot of compost or manure, and a handful of complete organic fertilizer for each plant.

The Stevia Cookbook - Cooking With Nature's Calorie-Free Sweetener
The very first part from the Stevia Cookbook talks about the background of Stevia - each since the beginning as well as in modern occasions. Here's an fascinating query: why, even though Stevia is popular in Asia and has also been in use by South American Indians for hundreds of years, is Stevia so unknown in the States? The guide points to large company (cash) and government intervention (politics). Are we shocked by that? Not really.

How to Make a Stevia Liquid Extract
Stevia rebaudiana, commonly known as sweetleaf, sweet leaf, sugarleaf, or simply stevia, is widely grown for its sweet leaves. As a sweetener and sugar substitute, stevia's taste has a slower onset and longer duration than that of sugar. ` wikipedia
Stevia is a natural sweetener with 0 calories that is unfermentable and does not provoke an insulin response for diabetics. It can be boiled or steeped in leaf form to sweeten teas, beverages and in cooking. Commercial liquid extracts are available (highly potent) through stores like GNC. Powdered single-serving packets can usually be found in supermarkets next to the Splenda or in the tea/powdered drink isle.
This video shows you how to make a tincture (liquid extract) out of stevia leaves
Stay away from lab made sweeteners! Use Stevia instead
Splenda is an organochlorine, other members of that family are DDT and Mustard gas!
Thanks to yet another loophole in the law Splenda is allowed to advertise itself in some places as 0 calories when in fact it does has calories. Its also 99% sugar so if u thought it was a good replacement for sugar think again.
Stevia is as versatile, cheap, natural and healthy. Splenda is a lab made poison.
Be smart!
