3. Stevia
This is a very popular, low calorie sweetener taken from the leaves of a plant grown in South America called Stevia Rebaudiana.
It’s been used for centuries for both its sweet qualities and for medicinal properties.
The leaves of this plant are more than 100 hundred times sweeter than refined sugar, ounce for ounce.
Although it is super sweet, it has almost no calories. Stevia has also been shown to lower high blood pressure and the blood sugar levels in diabetics.
