HERB OF THE MONTH - STEVIA
|
|
|
|
Because of its potential to help with New Year's fitness resolutions, Stevia has earned the coveted designation as our "Herb of the Month!
You may already be familiar with Stevia as a white powdered sweet substance, but it is actually a plant native to South America, part of the Asteraceae family along with chrysanthemums, marigolds, and ragweed. It has been used as a sweetener for centuries, traditionally used to sweeten yerba mate tea.
In recent times, the active compounds of stevia have been extracted and used as a natural sugar alternative for a variety of "diet" products as they do not raise blood sugar, and are heat-stable, pH-stable, and not fermentable. The compounds of interest in stevia are Steviol glycosides (stevioside and rebaudioside). Stevioside is sweet, but also has a bitter aftertaste. Rebaudioside is sweet, and less bitter. Exactly how much sweeter than sugar depends on how it is processed. Not all Stevia is created equal. Green leaf stevia is around 40 times sweeter than sugar, while some more processed extracts are 200-400 times sweeter. Stevia types fall into three categories: Green/Whole leaf, Stevia Extracts, and Highly Processed Stevia.
Green Leaf stevia: simply dried and powdered, the most natural state, but with some disadvantages. It is about 30-40 times sweeter, but can have a bitter aftertaste from the stevioside and does not dissolve completely in water.
Stevia Extracts: These are often more palatable and can be either powdered or liquid extracts. These are a popular choice for those who want their beverages sweet without having solids floating around in it. However, keep an eye out for cheap fillers like dextrose or cellulose, which may be used as anti-caking agents or to add volume. The Sweetleaf brand powder and Wholesome! Organic's brand of Stevia include inulin fiber, which is a prebiotic fiber that is beneficial to intestinal flora.
Highly processed versions like Truvia use only the rebaudioside extract, which does not include the benefits from using the whole leaf, then go through a 42 step process which utilizes harsh chemical solvents and adds erythritol (sugar alcohol derived from GMO corn) to produce a product that is actually less than 1% stevia! Some "diet" products may use stevia in addition to chemical sweeteners like aspartame or sucralose. Because of this adulteration, we don't recommend these versions of stevia.

What are the health benefits? There have been over 400 studies on the unadultered stevia extracts showing therapeutic effects against cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, inflammation, cystic fibrosis, obesity and tooth decay.
Great for Diabetics
So we know that it doesn't raise blood glucose levels like sugar does, but did you know it could help regulate blood sugar and insulin levels? A study of men and women who had stevia before a meal reduced post-meal blood glucose and insulin levels, independent of reductions in caloric intake. A German study successfully used stevia as part of a quit-smoking protocol. By balancing blood sugar levels, there may be some benefit to recovering smokers who find themselves craving sweets while trying to quit. A study with rats that consumed 250 and 500 milligrams per day significantly reduced fasting blood sugar levels and balanced insulin resistance, triglycerides and alkaline phosphatase, which commonly increases in cancer patients.
Anti-Cancer
Just in 2012, a groundbreaking study connected stevioside consumption to breast cancer reduction by enhancing cancer apoptosis (cell death). Plus, the study found it decreases certain stress pathways in the body that contribute to cancer growth. Another study on colon cancer added stevia to a blend that included blackberry leaf found a synergistic effect, increasing the polyphenol antioxidants.
Anti-Obesity
Americans love our sugar and it shows on our waistlines! The average American consumes 22 teaspoons of added sugar a day, which amounts to an extra 350 calories. This high sugar intake has been linked to weight gain and adverse effects on blood sugar, which go hand in hand with other serious health problems. Phasing out sugar and incorporating stevia will cut calorie consumption and help with weight loss.
Improves Cholesterol & Blood Pressure Levels
Results of a 2009 study showed that "stevia extract intervention is effective in lowering the elevated levels of serum cholesterol, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein and very low density lipoprotein levels and increasing the HDL levels."
Natural Standard Research Collaboration, which reviews scientific evidence on herbs and supplements gave stevia a “grade B for efficacy” in reducing blood pressure. “Available research is promising for the use of stevia in hypertension,” says Catherine Ulbricht, senior pharmacist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and co-founder of Natural Standard. Long term studies found stevia extract dilated blood vessels and increased sodium excretion, which are both helpful for healthy blood pressure levels.

What to Get? Best to go Organic and Non GMO with SweetLeaf or Wholesome! Brands.
SweetLeaf is the only stevia brand consistently winning global awards for taste and innovation. Available in: powder in a 4oz Shaker or boxes of 35 or 70 packets. It is also available in water-based liquids with 6 different flavor options (Berry, Orange, English Toffee, Peppermint, Rootbeer, or Cola) which are great for flavoring sparkling water to make your own diet sodas. For use in cooking or baking, find the conversion chart here and in the store.
Wholesome! Organic Stevia has helpful tips when using their stevia for cooking or baking. Every ½ teaspoon of Wholesome! Organic Stevia is equal to two teaspoons of sugar. Reduce your baking time. The addition of Organic Stevia may speed up the caramelization of the crust during baking, giving your baked goods a crunchy brown crust in a shorter amount of time. Do not adjust baking temperature. Stevia is suitable for baking yeast breads or other leavened baked goods. However, because it does not ferment, it may also change the texture of baked goods, so please, as always, give recipes a couple of test runs, making modifications as needed.

Cold hands and feet? Recovering from an injury?
Try a BEMER Session!
Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays from 11am-3pm
with Gina Costa
$20 per session (10-20 min)
The heart pumps blood through our arteries, but it relies on the additional power of the autonomous pumping motion of the microvessels. Sometimes the microvessels that carry blood to our extremities do not always flow optimally. Without the blood flow to cleanse, our system is bogged down with waste products. By these microvessels, our circulatory system also distributes hormones, immune cells, and other signaling molecules.
And this is where BEMER devices can be beneficial by enhancing blood flow. Come try for yourself and meet Gina!
