Stevia has zero calories and does not affect blood glucose levels or insulin response which allows people with diabetes to consume this sweetener. This plant has eight glycosides: stevioside, rebaudioside A, C, D, E and F, steviolbioside and dulcoside A. Stevioside is the most abundant extract of all. Some leaves of certain stevia crops contain up to 18%.  It has no contradictions and offers numerous health benefits:

Diabetes

Numerous studies have shown that stevia sweeteners do not contribute calories or carbohydrates to the diet. They do not affect blood glucose levels or the insulin response, which allows people with diabetes to consume a greater variety of foods.

Weight control

 The causes of overweight and obesity are due to numerous factors, including: physical inactivity and increased intake of foods rich in fat and sugars. The intake of added sugars contributes 16% of the total calories consumed and has been related, in medical studies, to weight gain and adverse effects on glycemic control. Stevia, being a natural, calorie-free product, can be part of a well-balanced diet to help reduce calorie intake without sacrificing the taste of foods.

Metabolism

Various studies have shown that there is no accumulation of stevia in the body during metabolism.

Pancreatic cancer

Stevia has many sterols and antioxidant compounds such as kaempferol, quercetin, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, isoquercitrin or isosteviol. Studies published in the American Journal of Epidemiology (Flavonols and Pancreatic Cancer Risk: The Multiethnic Cohort Study) have found that kaempferol may reduce the risk of pancreatic cancer by 23%

Blood pressure

Stevia may help lower blood pressure because certain glycosides in the stevia extract dilate blood vessels, increase sodium excretion and produce urine. Daily consumption of stevia can normalize blood pressure and regulate the heartbeat.

Allergies

Health regulators and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have approved high-purity stevia leaf extracts as completely safe and unlikely to cause allergic reactions when consumed in food.

For children and pregnant women

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (UN), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have determined that high-purity stevia is safe for the population, including children , Pregnant and nursing, when the recommended levels are consumed.
