Stevia Great for Diet and Diabetics

Stevia is a plant that is the safest sugar substitute but for some REALLY EERIE reason it is not approved by the FDA for no logical reason. Actually, it is sold in the USA though, as a "food supplement" but not as a sugar substitute. Alright, maybe that sounds weird, but that's true. Anyway Stevia is an extremely safe plant that has no side effects and is now being used as a sugar supplement of Coca Cola and other sodas in Japan.

I ordered my Stevia and got my bottle for less than 7 dollars at one of the Walgreens. A pinch of Stevia and you get enough sugar to make your coffee taste like the sweetest coffee in the world. In fact, Stevia is about a hundred sweeter than ordinary sugar and you can use it for cooking too, just like some people do with Splanda.

I love Stevia because aside from the fact that it takes away your sweet cravings, it also lowers ones blood sugar and it certainly is something that diabetics should consider. Another good thing about Stevia is that it makes "doing" the Atkins, South Beach Diet and most of these low carb diets easier because you do NOT miss sweets and you don't feel deprived. Fact is that if Stevia were approved by the FDA like in other countries, it would probably kill the sugar and the sugar substitute industry bu that would mean LESS diabetics, less obesity and according to some studies, even LESS Cancer and High Blood pressure.

Why is there no excitement about Stevia? Ask the FDA. Or perhaps it's better to ask why Japan's Coca-Cola thinks that Stevia is even a CURE for diabetics. Most of Asia and Europe recommend Stevia as a sweetener and no one is dropping dead by using Stevia -- in fact, most who use Stevia become healthier and less prone to Obesity. Stevia hardly has no calories and it boggles my mind WHY the FDA thinks that STevia can be unsafe while giving the "go" to other more popular sugar sweeteners. In fact, I think the FDA is weird.How can some plant like Stevia be unsafe as a sweetener but safe as a "food supplement".. I mean talking about a play of words, how STUPID is that? 

If I were into world domination, I would ban sugar and upset the world perhaps and make sure that Stevia is THE only world sweetener available in the market. Of course, since I have no ambition to rule the world and my thoughts on world domination have faded since I was twelve years old, then sugar will probably continue to KILL and it would take a long time for Stevia to become the only source of THAT sweet taste.
