I briefly introduced the source and characteristics of stevioside. Stevioside is a natural sweetener extracted from the leaves of the stevia plant. Its sweetness is hundreds of times that of sucrose, but it contains almost no calories and has a negligible impact on blood sugar.
Then, I explained the benefits of stevioside to the human body. It is not only suitable for diabetic patients as a sugar substitute, but also can help control weight and reduce the risk of tooth decay.
Finally, stevioside should be used in moderation. Although it is a safe natural sweetener, excessive consumption of anything may be detrimental to health. Especially, stevioside may be added to some processed foods, so the total amount should be controlled in daily diet.
