September Contest For Those Who Want An Alternative To Sugar
The average American eats over 125 pounds of white sugar every year. It has been estimated that sugar makes up 25 percent of our daily caloric intake, with soda pop supplying the majority of our sugar ingestion. The amount of sugar we consume has a profound effect on both our physical and mental well-being. In excess, sugar can be toxic.
The alternative is not artificial sweeteners loaded with chemicals. The perfect solution is STEVIA!

Stevia from the Amazon Herb Co. in naturally sweet with no calories, supports glucose metabolism, aids cardiovascular health, and contains grapefruit seed extract, well known for its antibacterial properties.
For hundreds of years, indigenous peoples in Brazil and Paraguay have used Stevia leaves with their Yerba Mate tea. Today, it is used in several countries such as Japan and Brazil in sodas.
In Brazilian herbal medicine, Stevia is used to balance blood glucose and help maintain healthy blood pressure. Stevia contains a compound called stevioside. Stevioside was also shown to support normal blood pressure, supporting the traditional use of Stevia for cardiovascular health.
Other compounds present in Stevia, such as steviol, isosteviol and glucosiltolerance. A recent study demonstrated that the ability of stevioside and steviol to balance blood glucose is a result of their ability to directly stimulate the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
Grapefruit seed extract is loaded with polyphenolic compounds, including quercitin, helperidin, campheroll glycoside, naringin, apigenun and rutinoside. Polyphenois are well known for those strong antioxidant properties.
Grapefruit seed extract also contains quaternary that exhibit broad spectrum antimicrobial activity while possessing none of the toxic side effects of chemically-derived quaternaries. Grapefruit seed extract is mostly known for its ability to support urinary and vaginal health. Interestingly, conception of sugars is one of the worst habits for someone concerned about yeast overgrowth. Stevia will support good intestinal, urinary and vaginal health.
