Quote from Professor Jan Geuns who leads the lab for Functional Biology, KULeuven
“Compared to sugar stevia has almost no negative aspects.” The benefits of stevioside as a dietary supplement to replace sugar are great. It is stable, meaning that the chemical structure even at high temperatures does not change. Sugar does this: it is caramelised if you bake, which makes various carcinogenic substances. Caramelization is a commonly used in the food, but it is silent about the consequences like death. ”

The herb, ‘Stevia’, better known as the honey plant, is a native of Paraguay, and has the potential to develop as a major source of bio-sweetener in the market. Stevia leaves have been used by Guarani Indians in Paraguay as a soothing tonic for stomach ailments and as a healing concentrate when cooked in water.
Being a good sugar substitute, Stevia is good for those on a diet-plan. Studies have revealed that Stevia is a natural, anti-bacterial and anti-viral agent also. It has also shown promising results in tackling high blood pressure. Steviosides, the intensely sweet glycosides, produced within the leaves make the extract of this herb is about 200 to 300 times sweeter than sugar. Research has indicated that as the body does not digest or metabolize these intensely sweet glycosides, they are not converted into glucose in the body and hence have a glycemic index of zero. Therefore, Stevia is a valuable sweetening source for patients with sugar restrictions and hypoglycemia.
Stevia leaves contain numerous all-natural nutrients that help regulate blood sugar, including chromium, magnesium, manganese, potassium, selenium, zinc, and vitamin B3(Niacin).
Stevia is found in consumer products across the world, particularly Japan, China and South America. Drinks, candies and gum sweetened with stevia are produced by most major food companies in Japan.

Unfortunately there is no known cure for diabetes, but many people with Type 2 Diabetes can restore their blood sugar to more normal levels naturally, without medications. The key is embracing a change in lifestyle, losing weight and eating a healthier diet.
Eating a healthy diet can play a big part in alleviating diabetes symptoms for Type 2 sufferers. Health studies show that Type 2 diabetics who eat a traditional Mediterranean diet consisting of mainly fish, nuts, olive oil, and fruit have to rely on medication less than their Type 2 counterparts who eat a normal low-fat, heart-healthy diet.
A study done by the National Institutes of Health showed that losing just a little weight, as little as 5% of your total body weight, can delay or completely prevent the onset of Type 2 diabetes.
Get active. Doing any type of moderate exercise such as walking briskly or cycling for just a half hour daily for five days a week can help you lose weight and lower your blood sugar levels.
The International Diabetes Federation estimates that the number of diabetic patients in India more than doubled from 19 million in 1995 to 40.9 million in 2007. It is projected to increase to 69.9 million by 2025. Currently, up to 11 per cent of India’s urban population and 3 per cent of rural population above the age of 15 have diabetes.
Various studies have shown that the high incidence of diabetes in India is mainly because of sedentary lifestyle, lack of physical activity, obesity, stress and consumption of diets rich in fat, sugar and calories.
Globally, diabetes affects 246 million people, which is about 6 per cent of the total adult population.
Eating whole grain carbohydrates and moderate exercise and avoiding excessive weight gain could eliminate over eighty per cent of Type-2 diabetes.
An important class of sugar substitutes are known as high-intensity sweeteners. These are compounds with sweetness that is many times that of sucrose, common table sugar. As a result, much less sweetener is required, and energy contribution often negligible. The sensation of sweetness caused by these compounds (the "sweetness profile") is sometimes notably different from sucrose, so they are often used in complex mixtures that achieve the most natural sweet sensation.
In the United States , six intensely-sweet sugar substitutes have been approved for use. They are saccharin, aspartame, sucralose, neotame, acesulfame potassium, and stevia.
There is also an herbal supplement, stevia, used as a sweetener.
