Stevia - a perennial plant with unique properties. The main substance in it - and rebaudiosides stevioside, which is sweeter than sucrose in the 200-400 times, so stevia is a natural - natural - a sugar substitute. Around stevia has been much talk: it was suspected of carcinogenicity, mutagenicity and other "mortal sins", attributed to her ability to inhibit the reproductive function of the body. After much research stevia finally acquitted on all counts and released into the modern world. In our bodies there are no enzymes that could split the stevia plant and turn it into useful or harmful substances, so that Stevia is completely safe for humans, and in addition does not contain calories. As part of the stevia Stevita the first place is xylitol (its taste is familiar to all of the cud and Stimorol Dirol). And I must say, it is clearly felt in the hot drinks, though in the same cottage cheese did not feel it. One bag replaces me 3 pieces of sugar on a large mug of coffee. To get used to the taste can be, the more that the stevia leaves no aftertaste such as artificial sweeteners. So far made use of stevia Stevita noticed that I changed the taste preferences. Decreased consumption of coffee, began to drink a lot of green tea, although I did not like it. In principle, a good option, and the price is quite reasonable for 50 bags. *** If the review was useful, you know what to do.
