"Stevia: The Natural Sugar Substitute"

Stevia, a plant known for its intense sweetness, has been used for centuries as a natural sweetener. It is 200-300 times sweeter than sugar and has a low glycemic index, making it ideal for diabetics. Stevia also offers various health benefits, including weight loss support, anti-cancer properties, blood pressure reduction, and cholesterol improvement. In Nigeria, efforts are being made to promote its cultivation and use. Studies have shown that stevia can help manage diabetes, support weight loss, and potentially fight cancer.
