Study Description

Stevia is considered as a novel molecule, because it is 100% natural and non caloric sweetener, with more sweetness than sucrose, without any adverse effects. It also demonstrates multiple benefits like anti-plaque effect, anti-diabetic effect, anti-periodontophatics properties, anti-hypertensive properties, anti-cariogenic properties etc. There are many studies conducted on stevia in humans, which justifies my study.
