We’re Here to Find Out...
There was a recent study that was published in Appetite 2010 Aug;55(1):37-43. Epub 2010 Mar 18.
The study was entitled...
Effects of stevia, aspartame, and sucrose on food intake, satiety, and postprandial glucose and insulin levels.
It was done by Anton SD, Martin CK, Han H, Coulon S, Cefalu WT, Geiselman P, Williamson DA. of the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, Baton Rouge, LA, United States.
Some Experts Say...
If you read the material put out by some bought and paid for experts acting on behalf of certain interests you will see them say things like...
“Aspartame does not affect blood sugar” Or “Aspartame does not affect insulin”
The wildest one yet was from the American Diabetes Association Where they were saying Yeah, go ahead and eat sugar... It’s a perfectly healthy safe thing to do. The American Diabetes Association said “you can substitute small amounts of sugar for other carbohydrate containing foods into your meal plan”
Let’s just see if they are right... shall we?
Back to the Study...
They started with the premise...
Consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages may be one of the dietary causes of metabolic disorders, such as obesity. Therefore, substituting sugar with low calorie sweeteners may be an efficacious weight management strategy. We tested the effect of preloads containing stevia, aspartame, or sucrose on food intake, satiety, and postprandial glucose and insulin levels.
So there is the start. The foods either had stevia (,and as you probably already know... we sell JAJA Stevioside™ which is stevia extract; and we sell Honey Stevia Leaf™ tea and powdered leaf.)
Or the foods had aspartame or sucrose (sugar.)
It Gets Surprising
The researchers stated
The preload order was balanced, and food intake (kcal) was directly calculated. Hunger and satiety levels were reported before and after meals, and every hour throughout the afternoon. Participants provided blood samples immediately before and 20min after the lunch preload.
Regarding Stevia and Sucrose...
Stevia preloads significantly reduced postprandial glucose levels compared to sucrose preloads.
In case you were wondering... like I was at the $100,000 word...“postprandial” refers to the time after any meal.
So the study shows stevia reduced glucose levels in foods.
Dispelling a Rumor
The researchers also reported...
When consuming stevia and aspartame preloads, participants did not compensate by eating more at either their lunch or dinner meal and reported similar levels of satiety compared to when they consumed the higher calorie sucrose preload.
In other words, sucrose, aspartame, and stevia were all appetite satisfying.
Regarding Stevia Aspartame, and Sucrose
What was really interesting... at least to me was the researchers reported...
Stevia preloads significantly reduced postprandial insulin levels compared to both aspartame and sucrose preloads
So if you are concerned with a rise in insulin levels after eating... the answer is clear to you.

Important Information Regarding Cost per Serving
Recently it has come to our attention that some web sites are now really going out of their way to attempt to defraud people who are interested in buying stevioside. This can not stand!
We had several people call and ask why JAJA Stevioside is $93.20 for ½ Kilo (1.1 lbs) while some other stevioside is selling for between $14.99 and $21.99 a pound. That is a very good question. Very good indeed.
Here's why...
If you compare the serving size and quantity you will find that JAJA Stevioside serving size is the size of a sesame seed. That is because JAJA Stevioside is 100% pure. It does not ”Start with pure stevioside“ and then add Erythitol, or silica, or FOS, or whatever filler happens to be the cheapest available like the other cheaper brands do.
One in particular that uses Erythitol has a serving size of 1/3 or 3/4 of a tea spoon. Their 1 pound container has 453 servings. Where JAJA Stevioside (pure stevioside) has over 38,000 servings. Remember a serving of table sugar is One Table Spoon. A serving of JAJA Stevioside is about the size of ONE Sesame seed.
So comparing prices...
$93.20/38000 = $0.00245 per serving compared to (and let's go low)
$14.00/453 = .031 per serving
That means that JAJA Stevioside costs far Less than a penny a serving, while the other brands - even at $14.00 a pound cost 3 pennies per serving! So which saves you money?
Purity versus a product made with really cheap fillers. You are intelligent. You decide.
Lets Make This Clearer
Take the dollar amount per serving (0.031) and multiply that by the amount of servings you get in 1/2 kg of JAJA Stevioside 38,000 and do you know what you get?... If you said ripped off by them, you are correct.
Don't Get Ripped Off
Look at the numbers!
$0.031 X 38000 = $1,178
And that ($1,178) is what you would pay to get an amount equal to the number of servings in ½Kg JAJA Stevioside which costs only $93.20... Gives You A Savings of $1084.80... Quite a difference, don't you agree?
We don't play games because we don't have to. Our product and quality are good enough to speak for themselves.
A word on Rebaudiosides
The stevioside molecule consists of stevioside, rebaudioside, and glycoside and a portion of other materials (water for instance). So when you see a company bragging on a super high percentage of rebaudioside, don't be fooled by their games. They are only trying to confuse you. They can do it because you are looking for high quality, and you have questions. You would expect a company selling a product to know about it. NOT go about misinforming and cheating customers and potential customers.
If someone claims to have 40% rebaudioside it really does not mean much. It means that the percentage of the stevioside molecule allegedly has 40% rebaudioside. So if you are getting a stevioside claiming to be 96% with 40% rebaudioside you would be getting 40% of 96%. However it is highly unlikely that they can (1.) consistently produce to that level, and (2.) actually measure rebaudioside content.
We have been selling JAJA Stevioside for over 10 years. Our facility in China exports world wide, including Japan (the country with the strictest regulations on import quality and safety). Many of the trading companies in China go to our facility and buy some samples, then sell them to customers (a lot of the companies here in the USA). When it comes time to order, these trading companies go to a low quality cheap producer instead of our facility in China and switch to low quality product.
JAJA Stevioside does not change taste or quality from batch to batch. But the choice of what you get is up to you.
