He aha nā pōmaikaʻi oʻO Stevia Extract?

He nui na pomaikai i manaoia oka lau stevia, me kēia mau mea:

Nā hopena maikaʻi i ka poho kaumaha

Hiki i ka hopena anti-diabetic

Kōkua no ka maʻi ʻaleʻa

Hoʻomaikaʻi nui ʻia ʻo Stevia ma muli o kāna helu caloric haʻahaʻa, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi ma mua o ka sucrose maʻamau; ʻoiaʻiʻo, manaʻo ka hapa nui o ka poʻe stevia he a“ʻole-calorie”mea hoʻohui no ka mea he liʻiliʻi ka nui o nā carbohydrates. Ua hāʻawi ka USFDA i ka nod i nā steviol glycosides maʻemaʻe kiʻekiʻe e kūʻai aku a hoʻohui ʻia i nā huahana meaʻai ma US.Loaʻa pinepine ʻia lākou i loko o nā kuki, nā lole, nā ʻōpala, a me nā mea inu, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe. Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻohe ʻae o ka FDA no ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka meaʻai, e like me ka lā Malaki 2018.

Ma kahi noiʻi 2010, i paʻi ʻia ma ka puke puke Appetite, ua hoʻāʻo nā mea noiʻi i nā hopena o ka stevia, sucrose, a me ka aspartame i nā limahana ma mua o ka ʻai. Lawe ʻia ke koko ma mua a he 20 mau minuke ma hope o ka ʻai ʻana. Ua ʻike ka poʻe i loaʻa i ka stevia i kahi hōʻemi nui o nā pae glucose postprandial i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me ka poʻe i loaʻa i ka sucrose. Ua ʻike pū lākou i ka piʻi ʻana o ka pae o ka insulin postprandial e like me ka poʻe i loaʻa i ka aspartame a me ka sucrose. Eia kekahi, ʻike ʻia kahi noiʻi 2018 ua ʻike nā poʻe i ʻai i ka stevia-sweetened coconut jelly i ka emi ʻana o ka glucose koko ma hope o 1-2 mau hola. Ua emi iho ke kiʻekiʻe o ka glucose koko postprandial me ka ʻole o ka hoʻoulu ʻana o ka insulin.

Ua hoʻopili pū ʻia ka ʻoki ʻana i nā kōpaʻa i ka mālama ʻana i ke kaumaha a me ka hāʻule o ka momona. Ua ʻike maopopo ʻia ka pōʻino o ke kō i ke kino, a ua pili pū ʻia me ka maʻalahi o ka maʻi allergies a me ka piʻi ʻana o ka maʻi maʻi.
