Stevia is incredibly sweet, and unlike sugar, it is actually good for you. It is a whole food that has been shown to have numerous health benefits. It actually suppresses dental bacteria growth, preventing tooth decay; balances blood sugar levels; treats mental and physical fatigue; improves digestion; regulates blood pressure; aids in weight loss; and is a diuretic and a tonic. Stevia also does not produce a damp environment in the body, making it ideal for those suffering from candidiasis or mucus or water retention.
