You’re Sweet Enough Already

Most of us were brought up on lots of high sugar foods, using sugar for flavouring & drink sugary drinks. Then we discovered the harmful effects of sugar including:

• Increasing weight gain
• Contributing to diabetes and heart conditions
• Cause fatigue, anxiety and hyperactivity
• Stimulate IBS symptoms
• And much more

So the next step was going for artificial sweeteners they had to be better right? WRONG. Their effects are just as harmful:

• Increase blood pressure, insulin resistance and heart disease
• Increases abdominal fat and weight gain
• Gastrointestinal upset
• Toxic to the body
• And much more

But did you know there is a way to get all the sweetness without the harmful effects of sugar or artificial sweeteners? Answer = Stevia

What makes stevia different?

• About 300x’s sweeter than sugar
• It’s a plant – all natural
• Non - toxic

What are the benefits of Stevia?

• Zero Calories
• No effect on blood sugar levels

Is there a down side to Stevia?

• Won’t taste the same in your hot beverages, slightly too sweet and bitter

How do I use Stevia?

The same way as sugar just the measurements are different:

• 1 cup of sugar = ½ tsp of powdered stevia
