Say Goodbye to Sugar and Hello to SweetLeaf Stevia® Sweetener in 2015
Gilbert, AZ (PRWEB) December 22, 2014 -- It’s a new year and a great time to make resolutions to cut calories, get in shape and just live better. With natural, delicious SweetLeaf Stevia® Sweetener, anyone can say goodbye to sugar and start 2015 off right.
According to recent research, eliminating sugar from your diet has never been more important for leading a better-for-you lifestyle. Below are five of the top findings of how consumption of sugar negatively affects overall health:
- Contributes significantly to obesity and the many health problems associated with it (1)
- Contributes to type 2 diabetes (1)
- Contributes to cardiovascular disease, due to lower levels of HDL (good cholesterol) (2)
- Linked to higher levels of blood fats called triglycerides (2)
- Promotes tooth decay and cellular inflammation, which can have systemic repercussions (2)
The American Heart Association also states that “Over the past 30 years, Americans have steadily consumed more and more added sugars in their diets, which has contributed to the obesity epidemic. Reducing the amount of added sugars we eat cuts calories and can help you improve your heart health and control your weight.” (3)
This being said, this New Year is the perfect time to cut out sugar and make a positive change. The SweetLeaf® family of stevia products is an essential ally for making a significant difference in eating habits. SweetLeaf Stevia® Sweetener offers delicious sweet taste and versatility with zero calories, zero carbs, non-glycemic response and no artificial ingredients.
SweetLeaf has several convenient options with unlimited uses for adding to food and beverages in place of sugar. The natural stevia sweetener is available in packets, shakers and dissoluble tablets in its powdered form. SweetLeaf also produces Sweet Drops™, liquid stevia available in over 20 delicious flavors like English Toffee, Vanilla Crème, Chocolate and more. All SweetLeaf Stevia® products are made from natural stevia leaves, which are 30 times sweeter than sugar and contain over 100 vital nutrients, making it an ideal alternative to sugar.

May, Founder and CEO, Wisdom Natural Brands. “It has been my personal mission to provide a natural sugar alternative that will allow people to enjoy sweet taste without the health concerns related to sugar and the artificial ingredients in some sweeteners.”
