I wonder how the drug companies will stop this one.
That there sounds too good to be true!
Bkmk
I didn’t trust Stevia until I bought a live stevia plant and grew it in my garden. It really is a natural sweetener. I would just pick some of the leaves and put them in my ice tea, and I had sweet ice tea.
*PING* to LJ.
Thanks Red Badger!
A little good News. Thank you.
I inherited a bad pancreas from my mother, who died of pancreatic cancer. 85 lbs and always nauseous, etc... I won’t go into the gory details, but 30 years of chronic pancreatitis is anything but fun. And looking forward to pancreatic cancer isn’t any better.

The Lord provides us everything we need in nature.
The FDA, on the other hand, will hop into bed with Big Pharma and strangle this natural unpatentable cure in the crib. After all, a cured patient is a lost customer.
SWEET!
Supercharged sugar? What a great time to be alive!
I am convinced that the LORD has put on the earth, every cure for disease.
Lots of compounds or physical conditions(heat, acid/base changes) kill cancer cells outside of the body. Hopefully, this discovery will help. Got a long way to go before this compound is ascertained to be efficacious in real cancer patients.

I posted this article a few days ago.
Here is an excellent comprehensive article on Stevia. I’ve been researching it to the nth degree, trying to find out exactly why the FDA only approves the use of extract and not pure stevia use in foods.

Abstract
Stevia rebaudiana is a South American plant, the cultivation of which is increasing worldwide due to its high content of sweet compounds. Stevia sweetness is mainly due to steviol glycosides, that are ~250-300 times sweeter than sucrose. Many studies have suggested the benefits of Stevia extract over sugar and artificial sweeteners, but it is still not a very popular sugar substitute.
This review summarizes current data on the biological activities of S. rebaudiana extract and its individual glycosides, including anti-hypertensive, anti-obesity, anti-diabetic, antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effects and improvement of kidney function. Possible side effects and toxicity of Stevia extract are also discussed.
You never know when Stevia is going to be tainted with Ricin.
