A sweet plant

By DEEP NAGI Wednesday, November 07, 2007

i am 28 year male from new Delhi, India on insulin .Always tried to keep distance from all kind of sweets even low carb sweeteners but recently a couple month back one of mine ayurvedic doctor told me about a plant name"STEVIA REBAUDIANA" .its looks like a small herb but the good thing is the leaves of this herb are sweet and when dried and made into powder with grinder the powder works like a nautral sweetener for real. The doctor also told me for a long time usage these leaves also help to regenerate the BETA cell of the pancreas .the plant is also not too expansive once you get you can grow it in your lawn too doesn't required too much take care .

Stevia extract is my preferred sweetener. I'm not sure about the pancreas regeneration part, however. Some studies showed that large amount lowered blood sugar levels, but they were much higher levels than you'd use for sweetening.
