Stevia: The Healthy Sugar Substitute

Stevia is a natural sweetener that’s often used as a sugar alternative. At 300 times sweeter than sugar, it adds the sweet taste, without the same calories, so it’s perfect for those trying to lose weight.

It’s made from a plant in South America that’s been used in foods for centuries, thanks to its naturally sweet leaves. Stevia is so sweet, in fact, that it’s used in small doses – which means that in addition to not getting the calories you’d get from sugar, you also don’t get the carbs, either.
