SUNECTAR AND SUNNYDEW

Splenda is far from healthy and I do not recommend using it in any form. Why not use Splenda? Well, research in animals has shown that sucralose can cause many problems such as: Shrunken thymus glands (up to 40 percent shrinkage) Enlarged liver and kidneys Atrophy of lymph follicles in the spleen and thymus Increased cecal weight Reduced growth rate Decreased red blood cell count Hyperplasia of the pelvis Extension of the pregnancy period Aborted pregnancy Decreased fetal body weights and placental weights Diarrhea

In 1995, Sunrider International of Torrance, California, petitioned and received approval from the FDA for Stevia to be sold as a dietary supplement. The safety of Stevia is well documented. Its reported benefits of balancing blood sugar and helping with blood pressure and cholesterol are heavily researched. However, Stevia sold as a dietary supplement should never be used in place of any medication.

Sunrider International introduced Sunectar to the market in October 1985. This very concentrated, water-based solution of Stevia Rebaudiana is combined with Chrysanthemum for the benefit of nourishing the body. In July 1996, Sunrider introduced a new dietary supplement called SunnyDew. This clear, concentrated dietary supplement is Stevia based, yet has added citrus bioflavonoids for even greater anti-oxidant qualities. SunnyDew is the first clear water-based Stevia liquid in the marketplace. Other clear liquids may be alcohol-based and are not nearly as concentrated as is SunnyDew. SunnyDew and Sunectar can be added to water, hot or cold beverages or drink mixes like NuPlus. Their pleasant sweet taste and convenient one ounce bottle make them easy to use.

Many people suffer with cravings for sweets. This is often reflected in their size and shape. We often succumb to the desire for sweets and justify it with low calorie or no-calorie sugar substitutes that satisfy the basic need for sweetness. SunnyDew and Sunectar are not sweeteners nor are they to be consumed as sweeteners or sugar substitutes. Rather they are dietary supplements that satisfy the basic demand for sweetness, yet do not create a state of imbalance.

According to Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw in their famous book, Life Extension: "Problems can develop when individuals chronically eat large amounts of sugar. When common table sugar (sucrose a simple sugar) is eaten, the pancreas, to metabolize the sucrose quickly releases insulin. The sugar is quickly used up, but the insulin remains in circulation for hours afterward because it has a much longer half-life (the length of time it takes for the concentration in the blood to drop by half that of the sugar). The insulin can lead to a hypoglycemic rebound because the circulating insulin continues to keep blood sugar down, even though the original sugar meal which caused the insulin to be released has been used."

Books such as The Zone, by Barry Sears, discuss the problem of too many carbohydrates and the difficulty the body has in dealing with the insulin hormone. It is Sears’ belief that too many carbohydrates affect weight and lead to the poor physical condition of our country today. Though recognized as simple or complex, all carbohydrates eventually become simple with the help of the pancreas. Too many carbohydrates for many people create an imbalance that affect their weight, size, shape and even health as reflected by blood pressure and cholesterol. A number of Brazilian studies have shown that blood glucose was lowered after four weeks of continuous use of Stevia Rebaudiana. Therefore, Stevia may be beneficial to a large number of people that either eat too many carbohydrates or have a body that can't handle the amount consumed. All of the simple carbohydrates we consume today as well as the artificial sweeteners tend to confuse the pancreas, thus creating an imbalanced state. The pancreas is a large gland that secretes a digestive fluid into the intestine and also secretes insulin. Proper levels of sugar in the blood are important for mental clarity, energy, muscle recovery, and proper metabolization of fats.

There was an interesting study done in Brazil that showed a "9.5% lowering of systolic and diastolic blood pressure" in a group of subjects ranging in age from 20-40 years. This also corresponds with Barry Sears reports of irregular blood pressure from poor metabolism of carbohydrates. Paulette Caster, in her book Balanced for Life, makes a clean and distinctive difference between grain carbohydrates and vegetable carbohydrates. It is important to keep the quantity of carbohydrates in a reasonable range. The source needs to be balanced to give the pancreas a chance to handle the flow.

In summary, Stevia Rebaudiana may be helpful for the following:

Regulating blood sugar
Improving pancreas activity
Better glucose balancing
More even energy flow
More consistent blood pressure
Improving muscle density
Better and faster muscle recovery after exercise
Improving ability of body to burn fat
Improving thinking capacity
Lessening tissue degeneration
Balancing the ups and downs of energy levels
