Organization for use as a treatment for hypertension. By replacing sugar with Stevia,
consumers could potentially decrease caloric intake, helping to reduce obesity and other
associated health risks. It has the characteristics of high sweetness, low thermal, it’s sweetness is 200-300 times of sucrose, calorific value is only 1/300 of sucrose. By a large number of drug experiments proved that the stevioside has non-toxic side effects, no carcinogens and safety. Regular consumption can prevent hypertension, diabetes, obesity, heart disease, dental caries etc
