Good news about stevia (natural pain reliever and anti-inflammatory Flex Essentials is sweetened with stevia).
The University of Florida completed a sweetener trial and determined that foods sweetened with sugar-free sweeteners such as stevia and aspartame do not lead to overeating. There's been a lot of talk the last few years that sugar-free sweeteners actually cause our body to seek out actual sugar after we've consumed a sugar-free sweetened food.

Pure, natural stevia will not only keep you from overeating, but will help curb cravings for sweets. This is probably due to the nutrients within stevia. There are 100 different nutrients within the stevia leaf.
ReplyDeleteI seriously doubt aspartame has the same effect. In fact, it is pretty well known that it does increase sweet cravings since it lacks nutrition.
