Stevia and Sugar Substitutes: Reading the Product Label
Stevia-derived substances are used as sweeteners. Commercial products differ, so the sweetener name is only the start of reading.
Review all ingredients and compare serving size, calories, total carbohydrate and sugars in the finished product.
Changing a sweetener does not guarantee weight loss, all-day glucose stability or elimination of cravings. No-added-sugar wording does not describe every ingredient or the amount eaten.
Follow product directions and choose according to your preferences and eating plan. For a child with diabetes, refer to their care plan and team; a sweetener name is not a reason to change treatment.
