Experts share details on Stevia’s health benefits at
2nd Stevia World Europe

Dear [name],

As an all-natural sweetener with medicinal properties,
Stevia Sweeteners are becoming a vital ingredient in the health food,
nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals and even animal feed sectors.

Recent research has revealed several key benefits of Steviol glycosides:

• In 2003, researchers at Denmark’s Aarhus University Hospital reported that diabetic rats experienced a reduction in blood pressure after taking Stevia, suggesting Stevia’s possible application for treating hypertension, a common complication of Diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome. Further studies showed that Stevia was able to stimulate and increase the production of insulin.
• In 2008, researchers at Nigeria’s University of Ilorin studied the potential use of Stevia as a prebiotic animal feed supplement due to a recent ban on the use of antibiotics in animal feed. They found that Male Cobb broiler chicks that were supplemented with stevia leaves and Stevioside consumed more feed and gained more weight.
• In 2010, DSM Nutritional Products of Basel, Switzerland, filed a patent launching stevia in an entirely new direction: as a cognitive health ingredient. According to the company’s patent filing, “Stevia extracts may boost brain function and tap growing interest in natural ingredients for cognitive health.”
