Ideal sugar substitute
The controversial Stevia plant is for diet freaks since several years the ideal sugar substitute. And now it seems the European Union endorses to sell the plant in Europe.
Table sweetener Truvia
Critics claimed that the stevia leaves were carcinogenic and toxic. The American company Cargill Health and Nutrition, processing the plant in the low calorie sweetener Truvia, had the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) test the plant. That safety evaluation finally showed that the Stevia plant is safe for use as a sweetener; the EFSA also made already some recommendations about acceptable daily intake quantities for safe consumption. This positive evaluation is a first important step to the European approval and general availability of the sweetener Truvia.
The Truvia table sweetener is already the U.S.A. leader in the new category of sweeteners based on stevia. It is for 97% made of the best tasting part of the stevia leaf. The sweetener is two hundred times sweeter than sugar and provides food and beverage producers a new range of choices for the development of products with a natural sweetener without calories origin.
Healthy Chocolate
The Belgian chocolate producer Cavalier is the first one to produce a ‘Healthy Chocolate’ based on Stevia. They’re proud of being the first to make a healthier chocolate because of use of the Stevia as sweetener and that tickles the taste buttons better then the other Belgian chocolates according to their managing director.
