HOW SWEET IS VERY SWEET !

I think every one who is seeking a healthier sugar, or a sweetner, may be looking upon stevia lately as the answer.

Amongst the endless HARAH! RAH! of all the good and bad articles published on sweetners of the past and the present, a couple have stood out as pehaps the sweetner of the future.

Today Health Drinks would like to address REB A, which is know as Rebaudioside A. This is a sweetner which comes directly from the leaves of the stevia plant. This Stevia Rebaudiana plant, grows naturally in South America. The people there have been using the leaves of this plant for their sweetening  for hundreds of years. It is scientifically known as steviol glycoside rebaudioside A.  This substance is extracted from the leaves of this herbal plant and Reb A is manufactured.

Rebiana is only one of many of the sweet substances that can be extracted from the stevia plant, it is not to be confused with the stevia. Its sweetening power is incredibly intense, Stevia extract powder is typically about 300 times as sweet as regular sugar. Rebiana is also very sweet; at least 200 to 300 times the sugar.
It is considered to have one of the best and sweetest flavors of all the different steviol glycosides.

Rebiana can be found on under the trade names PureVia and Truvia. This product should  receive strong emphasis on the fact, it comes from a plant,and is a natural sweetener. This should become appealing to  those who are aware of the potential dangers of non-natural artificial sweeteners.

Todays health benefits, it contains zero calories, smaller amounts reguired, allowing blood sugars to be beneficial for those with diabetes. RebA helps prevent bacteria forming in the mouth whichs prevents plaque and fewer cavities.This would allow us to use this product in many of our favorite drinks.

In conclusion Todays Health Drinks found this sweetner worth considering for a healthier life.

  1. Rebiana is not an ingredient in the stevia plant, nor is it found in nature. It is produced by the action of chemicals and stringent alcohols and on various stevia glycosides. Rebiana is simply the trade name Cargill gave to their chemically derived product in 2008. The "No Questions" letter from the FDA states that Rebiana contains residues of ethanol and methanol.

    Rebaudioside A (Reb A) is one of the 11 glycoside compounds naturally in the stevia leaves. It is produced by the action of sunlight on the leaves and is about 400 times sweeter than sugar.

    Truvia contains 9/10 of 1% Rebiana and masking agent, and 99.1% erythritol, a sugar extracted from corn with alcohol (sugar alcohol). Cargill, whose product it is, has reported that 30% of their corn is genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Truvia is essentially corn sugar.

    PureVia is 8/10 of 1% Rebiana and 99.2% sugars. PureVia is also essentially a sugar product.
