Stevia Is Sweeter Than Sweet!

Talk about a product in the news. One only has to google the word stevia to find hundreds of websites, blogs and forums dedicated to advancing the popularity of stevia. Our storyline is unique but our research is the essence from dozens of popular online sites, blogs and articles dedicated to advancing stevia as a natural sweetener.

Stevia is most recently rumored to be poised to save the beverage industries sagging sales as reported in Beverage News, 2009. Stevia natural sweetener enhances flavorings and that is expected to be the tipping point to mainstream, and serving as a catalyst to a flavoring revolution for flavored water and all other bottled beverages and food products.

So what’s behind this tipping point anyway? There are basically two components.

1. GRAS Stevia (RA97 Extract) allows you to call stevia a natural liquid sweetener. Before the GRAS approval by the FDA stevia was only able to be used as a dietary supplement, and that’s a big deal.

2. Consumers are finally learning that we’re drinking more calories than ever from beverages, juices and sodas that are either flavored artificially, or are sweetened using high fructose corn syrup, especially for children's drinks that amount to only sweetened water. Combine these two significant components and developments and you have a product, whose time has come.

Stevia is an herb from South American that is naturally 200-300 times sweeter than sugar and has no calories. That’s where our unique storyline gets its headline: sweeter than sweet.
