"Is stevia safe for diabetics to use?" An HSI member named Janet sent us that question in response to the e-Alert "Tangerine Dream" (10/9/07), which looked at the absurd treatment the FDA has given this South American herb that's been used as a sweetener for hundreds of years. To answer Janet's question I'll share this quote from an HSI Members Alert report on a natural remedy for blood sugar control called Pancreas Support: "I find it interesting that a formula designed to control blood sugar contains this natural sweetener, which is known to be 300 times sweeter than cane sugar. Yet despite its intense flavor, stevia does not raise blood sugar levels - in fact, it can help lower them." Pancreas Support contains six key ingredients derived from native South American plants, which have all been used for centuries in traditional healing practices. You can find more information about his remarkable formula at rain-tree.com.
