<p>Through the power of persuasive advertising and clever marketing, we&rsquo;ve been sold on the idea that stevia is a natural herbal sweetener that is not only harmless but even health-promoting. As such, it is promoted as a better choice over sugar or other low-calorie sweeteners. Stevia has rapidly become a multimillion-dollar industry.</p>

<p>Despite all of the marketing hype, stevia is not the innocent little herb it is made out to be&mdash;and it is not harmless. The stevia sweetener you purchase at the store is a highly refined, purified chemical that is little different from any other artificial sweetener, with many of the same drawbacks and dangers.</p>

<p>The author&rsquo;s observation of troubling adverse reactions associated with stevia led him on an investigation that uncovered disturbing facts hidden from the public, including studies that contradict the sweetener&rsquo;s safety and assumed benefits.</p>

<p>In this book, you will learn why you should never use stevia if you want to lose excess weight or control diabetes. You will also learn why all low-calorie sweeteners are potentially dangerous, and what options you have available. The information in this book comes directly from published studies, historical facts, and the author&rsquo;s personal experiences.</p>
