SuppVersity - Nutrition and Exercise Science for Everyone: Stevia - Natural Sweetener With Anti-Diabetes + An...: Stevia is certainly one of the best choices to use as a sweetening agent. It is yet important to point out that this has nothing to do wi...

"Natural and good", not "good since natural": As the previous elaborations have shown stevia really appears to be one of the best sugar replacements to chose. This is yet not due to the "naturalness" of stevia, but due to the specific molecular structure of the the glycosides the food industry extracts from the leaves of a plant.

Accordingly, the white substance we wrongfully call "stevia", when it's eventually only an extract of the sweet(est) tasting steviosides wouldn't be less effective or unhealtier if it was synthesized in the laboratories of Monsanto or extracted from the poop of genetically modified bacteria. And you know what? I guess, when the market keeps growing the way it does, this is soon going to be the white-washed sterile environment of a laboratory is probably soon going to be where 90% of the stevia is going to come from.Reference:
