Stevioside is stevia extract, a natural sweetener that does not affect blood sugar levels（(zero calorie) and is extremely sweet.   In Japan, high-purity stevia extracts have been approved for use in food and beverages for decades.   In the last 5 years, the world's leading food safety and regulatory bodies (JECFA, AN-SES, FSANZ, FDA, EFSA) have been positive about the use of purified stevia extract in food and beverage applications, and consider stevia extract to be a safe sweetener.   Preclinical and clinical studies have shown that the use of stevia extract is safe for the general population, including people with diabetes, children and pregnant women, as well as those with unknown causes of side effects or allergies.
