Natural Sweetener Stevia Approved for Use in Foods

Finally Australian Food Authorities have approved Stevia, a natural sweetener, which up until recently, was only available in health food stores. As an alternative to sugar & dangerous artificial sweeteners such as Aspartame, Sucralose or Saccharin, stevia is an all natural kilojoule-free sweetener, a herb that South American native tribes have been using for generations. It is extremely resistant to heat, can be used for cooking & baking, sweetens up to 300 times more than traditional sugar, helps prevent dental plaque, is fluoride-compatible and contains no calories or carbohydrates.
