A. Stevia is a herb.
Stevia rebaudiana is a small shrub in the same family as lettuce, chicory and chrysanthemums. It grows wild in Paraguay and Brazil.
Stevia was "officially" discovered in the late 19th century by Dr. Moises Santiago Bertoni. He was given samples of the plant and he reported that "one small piece of the leaf will keep the mouth sweet for an hour". He named the plant Stevia Rebuadiani Bertoni in honor of a Paraguayan chemist name Rebaudi. Bertoni found that the Guarani Indians had been using stevia to sweeten bitter teas and as a sweet treat. Science later discovered that the glycoside substances in stevia leaves, including the steviosides, account for this plant’s incredible sweetness.
Q. Is Stevia Safe?
A. Yes.
Stevia is a natural product with centuries of usage since pre-Columbian times by natives in Paraguay with no reports of side effects. Rigerous research in hundreds of trials internationally have proven stevia to be completely non-toxic for both human and animal consumption. Stevia has been consumed in massive quantities (Thousands of tonnes annually) for over 40 years.
Q. I have heard that stevia has side effects?
A. Science has proven Stevia to have no side effects.
Stevia has been widely used in Japan since 1970 and there have been no reports of toxicity or other side effects. It has been thoroughly tested under rigorous conditions through hundreds of clinical and lab trials and found to be completely safe. Stevia has been extensively used around the world for over 40 years with NO reports of stevia overdose or toxicity.
Q. How Sweet is Stevia?
A. Stevia's sweetness depends on the particular form you are using.
Sweetness of the crude leaves from the stevia plant and leaf powder (green) varies from 10 - 15 times sweeter than sugar (but with a bitter aftertaste). Stevia concentrates (white powders or liquids) can be 100 to over 300 times sweeter than sugar. Not all concentrates are created equal so read the product label and literature to ensure what you are buying is 100% pure stevia and determine its sweetness level.
Q. How can Pure-le Natural's Stevias have no aftertaste unlike other brands?
A. Quality and purity.
Our concentrated Stevia powder is the highest grade available. It is 100% pure stevia with no added fillers. Lower grade stevia concentrates add fillers to reduce their costs. It is these fillers which have an unpleasant aftertaste. Our concentrated liquid contains no alcohol or glycerine (fillers commonly used in Stevia liquids). These additives are responsible for the distinctive aftertaste in some brands. Pure-le Natural Stevias are amazingly sweet, have a glycemic index of zero (0) and are free of any aftertaste.

A. Studies have shown the following benefits from using Stevia in your diet.

Q. Where is Stevia Grown?
A. Worldwide.
Originally stevia grew wild in Northern Paraguay and Southern Brazil. It was later cultivated as a sweetener until the introduction of sugar cane. Today Stevia is grown worldwide from Asia to South America, Europe, India, the Ukraine and even Canada and the United States.
Q. What are the types or forms of Stevia?
A. Stevia is available in both raw herb (green) and concentrated extracts (white powder and liquids)
Q. Why is Stevia just coming onto the market?
A. Stevia has been around for a long time in North America.
Studies on stevia go back to the 1950's but the U.S. sugar industry fought to prevent the use of stevia in the United States. Today, the manufacturers of artificial sweeteners have lobbied the FDA to prevent its approval as a sugar substitute. The situation is so bad that 60 Minutes, in 1997 aired a report on the tactics of artificial sweetener manufacturers when dealing with the FDA.
Q. Why don’t I see diet soft drinks sweetened with Stevia?
A. The answer is simple: Money!
The diet soft drink market is huge, worth billions of dollars and the manufacturers of artificial sweeteners are not about to share that market. They lobbied the FDA to stop the use of Stevia as a food ingredient thereby protecting their market. Artificial sweeteners are patented and those patents guarantee big profits, where Stevia is a natural plant that cannot be patented and it can be grown by anyone anywhere. In Japan, where artificial sweeteners are banned, stevia is found in numerous products, including virtually all diet soft drinks.

Health-concious people are looking for ways to remove sugar from their diet, but want to avoid toxic sweeteners like Aspartame. Sugar raises the blood sugar level and causes dental decay. Stevia has no influence on blood sugar levels. Sugar feeds intestinal Candida - Stevia doesn't. Sugar makes you fat - Stevia doesn't. People have not evolved to handle the enormous amount of sugar in our modern diet. If we do not limit our sugar intake, we will end up with Diabetes.
