Stevia (referred to Stevia rebaudiana by its botanic name) is a strong natural sweetener, which contains a substance called steviol and has much greater sweetening effect than sugar. Stevia took its name from the Spanish botanist and physician Petrus Jacobus Stevus who discovered it. Stevia is the only natural sweetener with zero calories, zero carbohydrates, zero glycemic index (GI) and zero glycemic load (GL). Stevia, therefore allows consumer to enjoy the sweet taste without adding calories to the daily energy intake, thus contributing significantly to weight control, provided that it is used in the diet as a substitute for added sugars. It is thus a natural sweetener that can substitute sugar or used combined with other sweeteners. Stevia is cultivated in Latin America for centuries, while plant experimental crops have begun in our country too (Thessaly, Macedonia). Japan was among the first countries who evaluated the safetry of stevia and its sweeteners derivatives from the early 1970s, and approved their use in foods and beverages, including soft drinks. Since then, a considerable number of researches have been conducted regarding the safety of steviol glycosides, and health institutes around the world have approved their use : In 2008, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (US Food and Drug Administration - FDA) acknowledged the stevia as "Generally Recognized As Safe" - GRAS In 2008, the Joint Expert Committee for Food Additives (JECFA, a UN Food and Agriculture Organization and World Health Organization) decided that the extracts of stevia are safe for consumption by all population groups. In 2010, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) after evaluating the results of scientific studies regarding the safety of steviol glycosides, and in agreement with JEFCA, considered the use of steviol glycosides safe for consumption. In 2011, the [European Commission] approved the use of steviol glycosides as a sweetener in foods and beverages. contact Green Cola Company SA 17o km National Road Athens - Lamia & 2 Kalamatas 145 64 Nea Kifisia Athens / Greece Phone: +30 2108002980 Email: contact@greencola.gr Australia Distributor FLEXUS INTERNATIONAL TRADING PTY LTD UNIT 25, 1353 THE HORSLEY DRIVE WETHERILL PARK, NSW 2164 SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA Tel: 0061405603884 submit Thank you for your contact!
