Stevia - Product Number 0053PA
From the AZNT website. Stevia is one of AZNT products listed. Product number 0053PA is AZNT's number assigned.
I note that the extraction method and comparison to the maple sap for "Touch of Nature" are very similar to Stevia.
Stevia is a 100% pure and natural product which comes from the sap of a small Amazon tree, Stevia Rebaudiana. The sap is extracted from these trees in the same fashion as maple sap is from maple trees. Once processed, a powder is formed named Steviosidium. This powder has properties to be used in the substitution of cane sugar (sucrose.)
Stevia is 300 times sweeter than regular cane sugar. Stevia also has no aftertaste, zero calories, no cholesterol, no carbohydrates, no fat, and is non-fermentable, yet it is found to be comparable or better with respect to taste when compared to cane sugar. Stevia is 100% pure and natural, and it makes the perfect sugar substitute for calorie-restricted diets. For those with diabetes, it will decrease sugar levels in the blood. For those individuals who choose not to use regular sugar cane or diet sweetner, or those who do not wish to take artificial sweeteners, this product is most beneficial.
Stevia is non-habit forming, and will not create any dependence whatsoever, so it can be used for long periods of time without any side effects. |
