One thing to be aware of is that not all stevia is the same. Many of the products called stevia actually are full of other fillers that are pretty nasty to most people with sensitive health issues. ANY white powdered stevia, including those that are "pure" stevia, has been highly chemically processed, and is NOT a pancreatic tonic, or any other kind of tonic. It has no health benefits except for eliminating the calories of sugar. It does not moderate blood sugar, it does not effect the pancreas. It does tend to increase insulin just as sugar does - just the sweet taste on the taste buds sets that reaction off. BUT "real" stevia, the whole leaf or powdered green/brown hard to dissolve stevia - this is used as a pancreatic tonic, doesn't have the same insulin boost, as the whole herb mediates the oversweet sensation, and does moderate blood glucose levels. In South America it is used as a primary treatment for diabetes. But, of course, things do work differently for different people. Just my two cents. Sara
Interesting - it didn't suit my DH either - it is meant to be a pancreatic tonic - maybe that's why it doesn't suit everyone?
