| Unlike artificial sweeteners,
      the sweet glycosides do not break down in heat, making Stevia an
      excellent sugar substitute sweetener for cooking and baking. Skyland cultivates Stevia
      leaf and then processes it into four sweetener grades using traditional
      food grade extraction techniques. Skyland produces over 65% of the world
      supply of the Stevia extracts. Japan , Korea and China have
      been consuming Stevia for nearly 20 years, approved bt their Ministry of
      Health & Welfare. In the USA market , the FDA approved Stevia
      consumption following the " Dietary Supplement Health and Education
      Act of 1994". |
