Candies, sodas, ice cream, pies, cakes.
..It's disturbing how many sugar-sweetened and
artificially-sweetened products are consumed by our children on
a daily basis. As you know, sugar is implicated in tooth
decay, diabetes and obesity. Artificial sweeteners, which
have other negative potential long-term health consequences,
are not the complete answer.
Certainly, limiting your child's intake
of sugary products is strongly suggested. Another option
is substituting stevia for sugar wherever possible. For
instance, instead of sweetening that glass of ice cold lemonade
or chocolate milk with sugar or aspartame, use a few drops of Stevia
Liquid Concentrate instead.
Or try substituting Spoonable Stevia One to OneTM for the sugar in your oatmeal cookies.
We believe that even partially substituting sugar and
other sweeteners with stevia can help satisfy your child's
sweet tooth while decreasing his or her health risks from
excessive sugar intake. If used correctly, your children
will never know that they are’nt having sugar.
Eventually, and hopefully soon, stevia
will be used in this country as an added ingredient in a
variety of commercial products such as soda, candy, chewing
gum, prepared foods, and baked goods. It has been a
successful addition to such products in Japan for decades as
well as in dental health products such as toothpaste and
mouthwash.
Be creative! Try using stevia in place of
other sweeteners wherever you can, your health and the health
of your family will be the benefactor!
