Sweetening food with stevia is often marketed as a safe and healthy alternative to sugar
Stevia is frequently promoted as a safe and
healthy sugar substitute that can be used to sweeten foods without the negative
health consequences associated with refined sugar. It's also connected to the
many various health benefits, including reduced calorie intake, sugar levels,
and the risk of cavities. Raw Sugar leaves
herb is thought to be harmful to your kidneys, reproductive system, and
cardiovascular system. It may also cause dangerously low blood pressure or
interact with blood-sugar-lowering medications. Even after being commonly
available throughout the world, Sugar leaves was banned in india in 1991 as a
result of early studies suggesting the added sugar could increase cancer risk.
Cooking and baking with stevia
powder is also an option (in markedly decreased amounts compared to table sugar
due to its high sweetness potency). Sugar leaves or "crude stevia
extracts" have not been approved by the FDA for use as food additives.
These sweeteners don't raise blood sugar levels, but because they're new, it's
best to use them in moderation. The kidneys have been shown to have negative
effects in some studies.
The researchers concluded that using Sugar leaves
as a sugar and other sweetener substitute is safe for diabetics. The use of
whole sweet honey leaf
powder as a dietary supplement resulted in lower blood sugar levels in rats,
according to a 2013 study.
Splenda and sweet honey leaf are both sweeter than sugar,
with the former being the most so. Splenda has 700 times the sweetness of
sugar, while sweet honey leaf
has 300 times the sweetness of sugar. Nonetheless, both of these products are,
for all intents and purposes, quite sweet.
Eating foods with a lower glycemic index can
help prevent or treat diabetes, so stevia is the best sweetener, and honey may
be slightly better than sugar if blood glucose levels are a concern. Unlike
other sugar substitutes, sweet
honey leaf is completely natural. It's made from a leaf that's
related to asters and chrysanthemums, two popular garden flowers. Sweet honey leaves have long been
used to sweeten drinks in South America and Asia.
