 A moderate amount of the herb stevia may be used as a sweetener when needed. All sodas, diet and regular, should be strictly avoided.
Other foods to avoid are those containing partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. This man-made oil is found in commercial peanut butter, margarine, and most baked goods. Most supermarket oils are refined (unless kept in a special "health food" section) and not so labeled. Make sure the oil you use is labeled "unrefined" or "expeller pressed." Also remember to refrigerate them. |

 Unfortunately, stevia does produce an aftertaste that some find unpleasant. Preliminary studies in animal models show that stevia can lower blood glucose levels and blood pressure, two effects of prime importance in dealing with diabetes.2

Polyols
Sugar alcohols or polyol sweeteners like xylitol, sorbitol, mannitol, and maltitol have become quite popular with the new focus on low-carbs foods. These sweeteners are found in numerous food products—especially chocolate and sugar-free chewing gum, because it has a smooth mouth-feel and a sweet, cool, pleasant taste. |

 With the exception of stevia, xylitol and D-mannose, some honey, etc., strictly avoid sugar and starchy foods such as pasta and potatoes. Much worse than sugar are artificial sweeteners and products that contain them; you should avoid these at any cost. Artificial sweeteners will reverse the recovery even if everything else is followed (see Aspartame and Other Sweet Killer Drugs in Chapter 14/ Most vitamin supplements don't work for diabetics and may end up in the toilet, but not without first harming the kidneys (see chapter 14). Furthermore, avoid all manufactured beverages and fruit juices. |

 STEVIA
Common name: Sweetleaf Botanical name: Stev/o rebaudiana
Parts used and where grown
The stevia plant originally came from the rain forests of Brazil and Paraguay. It is now grown in those areas, as well as in Japan, Korea, Thailand, and China. It is most widely used as a non-sugar sweetener in food and drink, particularly because it does not appear to have any calories or affect on blood sugar like most natural sweeteners (like sugar or honey). The leaf is used in herbal preparations. |

 For variety, she suggests throwing in a bag of black tea with the cinnamon and sweetening with stevia.)
"If you don't like the look or texture of tea made with ground cinnamon, try bringing water to a boil with a piece of cinnamon bark added to it," she advises.
One of the coolest parts of the whole cinnamon story is that the best results are gotten with the cheapest stuff, according to Broadhurst. You definitely don't need the esoteric (and expensive) oil extracts. "Buying cinnamon in bulk is cost effective and highly recommended," she told me.
Meanwhile, I sprinkle the stuff on everything. |

| Look for those containing tasty and nutritious natural sweeteners such as xylitol and stevia extract instead.
Note: If you are lactose intolerant, you likely will not have a problem with whey products, as whey is naturally low in lactose. But severity of lactose intolerance varies so much from person to person that you must be the judge. If your body responds to the whey found in most bars and shake mixes, opt for products that contain whey protein isolate. Choose whey protein products with less than 0.1 grams of lactose per tablespoon of powder. |

| Technically, stevia is a dietary supplement because it has not been evaluated or approved by the FDA as a sweetener. Preliminary studies show that stevia may have blood sugar lowering and blood pressure lowering effects. It does exert a mild to unpleasant aftertaste.
Moderate A naturally occurring sugar in milk that is 92% as sweet as sucrose but is absorbed poorly. It does have some caloric value, about one-third as many calories as sucrose. Studies show that tagatose actually blunts the glycemic response to sugar. |

| For the purposes of maintaining proper blood sugar as a diabetic or former diabetic, this means using super-low-glycemic chia seeds with your greens, in conjunction with sweet spices such as cardamom and stevia. On the Phase 1.5 cuisine, a low-glycemic fruit such as blueberries can be added in limited quantities. The way to make a blended green smoothie with chia is to add 1 cup of chia seeds to a blender of greens, add water to desired consistency, and blend a smoothie. For great smoothie recipes, see the Rainbow Green World Cuisine recipe section later in this chapter. |

| Preliminary studies in animal models show that stevia lowers blood glucose levels and blood pressure—two effects of prime importance in dealing with diabetes. However, since it has not yet passed Food and Drug Administration testing as a food additive, it cannot be advertised as a sweetener in the United States. Since stevia preparations are not likely to be patented (you cannot patent something that exists in nature), no company has been willing to invest in the cost of FDA testing. Instead, it is sold as a "dietary supplement. |
| There are several different brands of stevia (Stevita, stevia Plus, SweetLeaf), each with a slightly different taste.
Another new sweetener looks promising: tagatose (Naturlose). It is a low-calorie, natural sugar found in milk that has just attained GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) status, allowing it to be included in foods as a sweetener. Tagatose is a sugar molecule, similar to glucose, that is poorly absorbed. It also appears to be able to actually block the absorption of other sugars, including glucose. |

 However, in the United States and Canada, probably due in large part to concerns raised by the sugar industry about potential competition, to date, stevia is approved only as a food supplement. It is available at most healthfood stores.

| Two additional highly concentrated foods that show significant promise as organic food source supplements are marine phytoplankton and stevia leaf.
Marine Phytoplankton
Phytoplankton are microscopic single-celled plant organisms that are the foundational basis of the food chain for all animals living in the ocean. Many species of whales eat them, develop great strength and endurance, and live to between 80 and 150 years. The largest is the whale shark, which lives to more than 150 years and is sexually active until it dies. |

 It's sweetened with a combination of xylitol, mannitol, FOS (fructooligosaccharides) and stevia. (They are all natural sweeteners.)
The taste is relatively mild, with a detectable "green" flavor, but not nearly as strong as barley grass or wheat grass. It blends extremely well with chocolate smoothies using raw cacao powder. See my Superfood Smoothies book for recipes.
The price may seem steep at first, but compared to more popular superfood products made with up to 50% filler (soy lecithin, usually), LivingFuel Rx Super Greens is very reasonably priced. |

 In addition to sweetening food and drinks without raising blood sugar, stevia may be capable of improving glucose tolerance. Be sure to monitor your blood sugar when adding this sweetener to a medication regimen.
Downside: In laboratory tests, high doses of stevia interfered with animals' reproduction. Cost: Approximately 10 or 20 per serving abetic individuals.255 The plant can also lower blood pressure. No significant toxicity has been reported.

 The kind of meals I consume are soups made with quinoa, salads with low-calorie dressing, raw fruits and nuts, or avocado shakes made by blending avocado with soy milk and stevia. Of course, I also consume my superfood shakes on a regular basis. They are made from superfoods green powders such as Berry Green or The Ultimate Meal.
Overall, keep in mind that weight loss takes effort. You will experience moments of intense hunger, and these low-calorie, filling foods are one excellent way to get through a difficult time without packing on the pounds. |

 Of course, to do that, the FDA has to give up protecting the Nutrasweet monopoly and actually legalize stevia as a safe food ingredient, and that's another story altogether. It seems to take an act of God just to get the FDA to do anything for the public good these days, so don't expect miracles any time soon on this front. |

| Sources are listed in the downloadable book, "Secret Sources." Add stevia powder as the sweetener. I also toss in some supergreens powders, but you may want to avoid that at first, since it's an acquired taste (and it turns your banana pudding green).
If you were to blend this up, you'd have a banana-flavored soy protein shake. But we're not done yet: while the blender is running, put in about 1/2 tablespoon of guar gum powder, plus another 1/2 tablespoon of xanthan gum powder. These are thickeners. |

 To do this, simply blend up some soy milk, stevia, rice protein or other protein source, add some flavorings such as vanilla or chocolate (that would be cocoa powder only, not sweetened chocolate), and then add in a couple of tablespoons of macadamia nut oil. This will make the drink have the texture and taste of ice cream, because when you're eating ice cream it's actually the fat combined with the sugars that makes it taste so good. |

 I use avocados blended with stevia and soy milk to make a delicious ice cream-like textured milkshake drink. It's one of my favorite recipes. You can also throw in some supergreens powder or berries, or make yourself a tropical mix by blending avocados, bananas, papayas, macadamia nuts, stevia, soy milk and ice together in one recipe. It's a delicious tropical paradise drink that's also extremely good for you.

 If you want to sweeten it, use stevia or agave nectar.
This tea is a mild kidney stone dissolver. Over time, it will soften up those kidney stones and even help prevent their formation. From the world of rainforest medicine, there's an herb called chanca piedra which is known as the "stone-breaker" herb in Peru. It's a very potent kidney stone treatment from the world of rainforest herbs, and you can find it through the Amazon Herb Company or another company called Raintree Nutrition (www.Rain-Tree.com), which sells a variety of rainforest herbs. I recommend both companies. |
| One of the targeted "contraband" books was titled "The stevia Story: A Tale of Incredible Sweetness and Intrigue" by Linda and Bill Bonvie and Donna Gates.
But that's not the most bizarre part of this story. In a letter to Stevita, FDA officer James R. Lahar stated that an FDA agent would arrive on site to, "...witness the destruction of the cookbooks, literature and other publications for the purpose of verifying compliance."
After all, if you're going to order a book burning, it's always a good idea to show up and make sure all the books were really burned, right? |
