    Thank you for such an informative yet easy way to process Stevia.
    Question: What is your opinion on these new studies coming out that says Stevia can lead to health issues?
    I can't imagine that the raw and natural way your company processes it to a powder can be harmful in any way.
    I'm really interested in your take on this.

      Thank you literally so much for this comment. It means a lot! To answer your question I think highly highly likely that all these studies were funded by corporation who eventually go back to manufacturers of sugar and high fructose corn syrup. Almost everything in life is about moderation, I don’t doubt Stevia is different; but I would put my bet on that these studies are politically charged.

    We have the same grinder... I think it is also a good way to dry leaves through freeze drying but the machine is so expensive. You can also opt to slowly dry the leaves in a refrigerator...

    Why is the stevia sweetener in stores white? I am reading you soak it in alcohol or water to extract the sweet parts?

    • @urbanagmike
      @urbanagmike  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Great question. Stevia sweeteners that look white are highly processed, usually to remove impurities and improve taste. What you described is called a tincture or extract - solid choice too! Most processed versions will have other additives though. More natural the better, at least in my opinion!

      It's not just processing, the stevia extract is added to a filler. Often these fillers are forms of sugars themselves like dextrose and maltodextrin, which are bad for you and will spike insulin and help you keep fat on.
