Benefits
From Dr. Whitaker's Newsletter, December 1994
"Stevia...is not only non-toxic, it also has several traditional medicinal uses. The Indian tribes of South America have used it as a digestive aid and have also applied it topically for years to help wound healing. Recent clinical studies have shown it can increase glucose tolerance and decrease blood sugar levels. Of the two sweeteners (aspartame and stevia), stevia wins hands down for safety."

Studies suggest that stevia has a regulating effect on the pancreas and could help stabilize blood sugar levels in the body, therefore making it a safe dietary supplement for people with diabetes, hypoglycemia, and candidiasis.

Dr. Robert C. Atkins, MD, author of Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution:
"Stevia has virtually no calories. It dissolves easily in water and mixes well with all other sweeteners...I use it myself..."

Body Ecology offers only the highest quality stevia extract (95% rebaudioside crystals). This extract was developed by taking only the sweet-tasting rebaudioside crystals, leaving behind the licorice-like flavor from the leaves and creating the ideal alternative to synthetic sweeteners.

Ingredients include
BED Stevia Liquid Concentrate is made from our super-high quality stevia mixed with filtered water, FOS, and grapefruit seed extract.
