What Is Stevia? And The Other 4 W's...What Is Stevia? Stevia is a natural plant that has superman-like sweetening properties. The plant is up to 300 times sweeter than sugar, and is so good for you it will keep you as regular as your morning bran muffin!

Who Makes The Best Brand?Although there are literally hundreds of companies in the world that produce it, the best brand of stevia that I have found so far is from a company called Herbal Advantage.

You can find their website Here How Long Has It Been Around?In the United States, studies were actually done on stevia in the 1950's. Obviously it took way longer than that for it to be approved for use, due to dirty politics and other nasty stuff floating around in the time. So even though Stevia may seem like a new discovery, it's not as new as you think. Why Use It?Stevia has tremendous health benefits, especially for diabetics and people with high blood pressure.
