Have u ever heard of a zero-calorie sweetener? Apparently Stevia (That’s what it’s called) has been used in Japan for more than 30 years as an alternative for sugar.

It is the world’s only all natural sweetener with zero calories, zero carbohydrates and a zero glycemic index. Harvested from a plant in the daisy family, stevia provides a truly delicious and healthy alternative to sugar or chemical sweeteners. Since stevia has zero calories, zero carbohydrates and a zero glycemic index, it is perfect for individuals with diabetes, hypo/hyperglycemia and anyone looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The glycemic index, or GI, measures how fast a food will raise your blood glucose level. Choosing foods that produce zero fluctuations in blood glucose is an important component for long-term health and reducing your risk of heart disease and diabetes. By helping you reduce your calorie intake and glycemic index, stevia can be a significant contributor to any healthy weight loss plan.

Today, stevia is cultivated and used in food elsewhere in east Asia, including in China (since 1984), Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Malaysia, it can also be found in Saint Kitts and Nevis, in part of South America (Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay) and in Israel. China is the world’s largest exporter of the stevia extract, stevioside.

Ive also heard that diet center will soon be using this product instead of their usual sweeteners which is a great deal for it’s consumers seeing as it’s healthier.

Wouldn’t it be better if we just lived in Japan? ;p
