WHAT IF I AM A DIABETIC OR OVERWEIGHT?

Health Benefits of Stevia and Xylitol For Diabetics and to Support Fat Loss

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has considers stevia as a safe food additive and sweetener that diabetics can use, according to the American Diabetes Association. Diabetics can also enjoy some benefits from using stevia.
Stevia is a plant found in areas of the world, such as South America and Asia. This plant-based sweetener has no calories or carbohydrates. For people with diabetes, this is important because they need to control their sugar intake to avoid adding more calories and carbohydrates in a diet. Sugar is a carbohydrate, which can be substituted with stevia, so that diabetics can have a sweet craving without affecting their diets.
The health benefits of stevia include its ability to aid in weight loss, lower blood pressure, reduce blood sugar, protect oral health, build strong bones, prevent certain forms of cancer, and help avoid cavities.
While stevia has been recognized to have medical purposes as an antimicrobial, anti-diarrheal, anti-tumor, diuretic, anti-inflammatory, scientific evidence is strongest, and its use is most promising for high blood sugar/insulin resistance and high blood pressure.

Stevia and xylitol are not only safe sugar alternatives, but also potent natural compounds that provide multiple health benefits. While both sweeteners improve glucose tolerance and reduce insulin needs, stevia can also lower elevated blood pressure while xylitol can help prevent cavities and ear infections, and possibly strengthen bones.
