Stevia is Not Only Sweet...It Treats Diabetes!

Some added benefits of using the sweetener, Stevia...

Pharmacy researchers from Malaysia�s University MARA have confirmed that Stevia isn�t just a healthy replacement for sugar � its constituents have the ability to treat diabetes by enhancing glucose absorption into the cells.

The research follows human clinical research illustrating that Stevia increases glucose control. In that study from Denmark�s Aarhus University, 12 type 2 diabetic patients were given stevioside isolated from the Stevia rebaudiana plant or a placebo.

The one gram of stevioside resulted in an 18% reduction in the glucose response curve area. Furthermore, their insulinogenic index � measuring insunlin beta cell function and insulin sensitivity � increased by an average of 40% as compared to the control patients.



The researchers stated:

�In conclusion, stevioside reduces postprandial blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetic patients, indicating beneficial effects on the glucose metabolism. Stevioside may be advantageous in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.�
