        <h3>The Safety of Stevia </h3>
        <p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">There has 
          never been a complaint that Stevia, in any of its consumable forms, 
          has caused any harmful side effects in the 1,500 years of use in Paraguay 
          and about 20 years in Japan. Scientists who have studied Stevia state 
          that it is safe for human consumption. </font></p>
        <p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Following 
          extensive research, Doctors reported "More elaborate safety tests were 
          performed by the Japanese during their evaluation of Stevia as a possible 
          sweetening agent. Few substances have ever yielded such consistently 
          negative results in toxicity trials as have Stevia. Almost every toxicity 
          test imaginable has been performed on Stevia extract (concentrate) or 
          stevioside at one time or another. The results are always negative. 
          No abnormalities in weight change, food intake, cell or membrane characteristics, 
          enzyme and substrate utilization or chromosome characteristics. No cancer, 
          birth defects, no acute and no chronic untoward effects. Nothing." </font></p>
        <p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">In all 
          of its current forms, Stevia has a taste unique to itself. Along with 
          its sweetness there is also a bitter taste when the pure whole leaf 
          extract or the white Stevioside powder is placed in the mouth. However, 
          this bitter flavor disappears as does the slight licorice taste when 
          the product is appropriately diluted in water or other liquid prior 
          to use.</font></p>
        <p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> Where 
          else can you provide yourself and family a sweetener that offers so 
          many benefits and properties that are great for you!</font></p>
        <p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2"> <i>This 
          brief review of the Stevia and its world-wide uses in no way constitutes 
          an endorsement of such uses. At this time the FDA permits Stevia to 
          be imported and labeled only for its approved use as a dietary supplement. 
          </i></font></p>
        <h3>Stevia as a dietary supplement.</h3>
        <p><font size="2" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica">The majority of reported 
          health benefits, both from research laboratory and consumer experience, 
          comes from the daily use of a water based whole leaf Stevia concentrate. 
          Scientific research has indicated that Stevia effectively regulates 
          blood sugar and brings it towards a normal balance. It is sold in some 
          South American countries as an aid to people with diabetes and hypoglycemia. 
          Since its introduction into the US, numerous people have reported that 
          taking 20-30 drops with each meal brought their blood glucose levels 
          down to normal within a short time period. Obviously each individual's 
          condition is different and such experimentation should be done under 
          the supervision of a qualified physician. An important benefit for hypoglycemics 
          is Stevia's tonic action, which enhances increased energy levels and 
          mental activity. </font></p>
        <p><font size="2" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica">Studies have also indicated 
          that Stevia tends to lower elevated blood pressure but does not seem 
          to affect normal blood pressure. It also inhibits the growth and reproduction 
          of some bacteria and other infectious organisms, including the bacteria 
          that cause tooth decay and gum disease. This may help explain why users 
          of Stevia enhanced products report a lower incidence of colds and flu 
          and why it has such exceptional qualities when used as a mouthwash or 
          added to toothpaste. Many people report significant improvement in oral 
          health after adding Stevia concentrate to their toothpaste and using 
          it, diluted in water, as a daily mouthwash. </font></p>
        <p><font size="2" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica">Stevia is an exceptional 
          aid in weight loss and weight management because it contains no calories 
          and reduces one's cravings for sweets and fatty foods. Hunger sensations 
          are lessened when 10 or 15 drops are taken 20 minutes before meals. 
          Preliminary research data indicates Stevia may actually reset the hunger 
          mechanisms in people where the pathway between the hypothalamus and 
          the stomach has become obstructed. If so, Stevia would help people to 
          feel satiated sooner, helping them eat less.</font></p>
        <p><font size="2" face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica"> Other benefits of adding 
          Stevia to the daily diet include improved digestion and gastrointestinal 
          function, soothed upset stomachs and quicker recovery from minor illness. 
          Users have also reported that drinking Stevia tea or Stevia enhanced 
          teas helped to reduce their desire for tobacco and alcoholic beverages.

            <h3>What Is Stevia?</h3>
            <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Stevia 
            is one of the most health restoring plants on the Earth. What whole 
            leaf Stevia does both inside the body and on the skin is incredible. 
            Native to Paraguay, it is a small green plant bearing leaves which 
            have a delicious and refreshing taste that can be 30 times sweeter 
            than sugar. Besides the intensely sweet glycosides (Steviosides, Rebaudiosides 
            and a Dulcoside), various studies have found the leaf to contain Proteins, 
            high levels of Chromium, Fibers, Carbohydrates, Iron, Phosphorus, 
            Calcium, Potassium, Sodium, Magnesium, Zinc, Rutin (A Flavonoid), 
            true Vitamin A, Vitamin C and an oil which contains 53 other constituents. 
            Quality Stevia leaves and whole leaf concentrate are nutritious, natural 
            dietary supplements offering numerous health benefits. Stevia is grown 
            in China as well as Paraguay and Brazil. </font> </div>
