[Hcg_Support] News on Stevia

[Guest guest]

The first natural Stevia product that has been labeled a sweetener on the package! WHO (World Health Organization) has finally come out in favor of the safety of Stevia this month as well.

Wisdom Natural Brands has been working doggedly over the past several months to bring a consistently pure stevia product to market before any competitors and received approval for its product in March 2008. Unlike artificial sweeteners which may contain chemicals, formaldehyde, acetic acids and chlorine, SweetLeaf® Sweetener™ is the first and only stevia extract to have received GRAS status (generally recognized as safe), enabling the company to expand the product beyond the dietary supplements market and sit alongside sugar and other sweetening alternatives in grocery store aisles. The new sweetener is available at www.sweetleaf.com and is arriving in retail outlets now. SweetLeaf® Sweetener™ is completely calorie-free, all-natural, and has a zero glycemic index. No other stevia product can make this claim.

In production more than a month now and making its way into retailers, SweetLeaf® Sweetener™ stands alone as the ONLY stevia-based sweetener that uses only pure water in its proprietary extraction process. Unlike Truvia™, the Cargill/Coca Cola stevia product, SweetLeaf® does not have to pass its product thought absorption resins nor “elute” its stevia in a final stage utilizing either methanol (wood alcohol) or ethanol, according to their just released study, or add “natural flavors” to improve its taste.

From the Truvia website:

Truvia™ is the brand name for the sweetener product to be commercialized by Cargill. Rebiana is the common or usual name for the new extract derived from the stevia plant that is contained in Truvia™. "Stevia" is used either to describe the stevia plant or to loosely describe various products derived from the stevia plant.

Both stevia and rebiana come from the leaves of the stevia plant. However, rebiana, developed by Cargill, is a high-purity, fully characterized and consistent product that comes from the best-tasting components of the stevia leaf. Stevia, as used in many dietary supplements, typically refers to a crude preparation from the leaves of the stevia plant, which contain a mixture of many components, not just those that give a sweet taste to the leaf.

Truvia has a refined stevia component and the rest is Erythritol. I guess that we should have known that Cargill and Coke would have found a way to claim a patent, by refining it more. :-(
