(Newswire.net — September 2, 2014) Emboscada — Paraguay Stevia announced that is has entered the United States market with an alternative to sugar and other sweeteners, natural unprocessed stevia. The company sells raw sun-dried 100% stevia leaf packages which can be ordered through Amazon.com.
Stevia is a natural sweetener whose use has increased markedly over the last decade, as people become concerned about the negative consequences of consuming products containing a large amount of sugar or artificial sweeteners. The product is a natural leaf that is endemic to South America and has been used for centuries by the Guarani tribes of Paraguay and Brazil.
Unlike sugar, stevia contributes no additional calories to foods it is used to flavor. One of the other hypothesized benefits of the natural sweetener is that it results in a less dramatic insulin response once consumed when compared to other sweeteners. In a study published in Metabolism in 2004, the authors conclude that its active ingredient, stevioside, “reduces postprandial blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetic patients, indicating beneficial effects on the glucose metabolism. Stevioside may be advantageous in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.”
There are many experts who have embraced Stevia as a great alternative to sugar. In an article published on December 16, 2008, Dr. Joseph Mercola stated, “Personally I believe Stevia is the best sweetener available today and is the one I personally use and travel with. Some people object to a bitter metallic type of aftertaste but it has been my experience this is related to the way the Stevia plant is processed. If you were to eat the whole fresh leaf of the plant there is no metallic aftertaste.” In that same article, he raises concerns regarding brands of stevia such as Truvia which are not made from the whole stevia plant.
Paraguay Stevia launched its product in the United States to address the potential concerns regarding processed forms of the product. The product is produced in Paraguay, where the plant is native and is delivered in the form of sun-dried leaves with no further processing. According to owner of the company, Joe Morgan, “Your order of 100% Paraguay stevia leaf (sun dried for lower weight and more volume) is guaranteed to satisfy or your money will be refunded minus shipping costs. Our goal is to supply you the highest quality, most natural product so that your life and health improve and you come back again.”
Paraguay Stevia’s bags can be bought on Amazon.com in eight ounce packages for $25.95 per package at the time of this writing.
