Guest guest Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Dear Bee, I undestand that sugars are the favorite food of candida and many other undesirable parasites. However, I don't undestand how stevia is different from other types of sugar. I had a glass of lemonade with stevia today and had the same acid stomach that I usually get from ingesting other types of sugar. Could you please tell me if there is any difference?

Personally, I don't think it's the stevia. I think it's the lemon juice. Nasty things happen to me when I have lemon juice in water (yet I can have it with fat and fiber, say, in a salad dressing, with no ill effects.) Several weeks ago, Bee told me that I shouldn't avoid lemon juice despite how it makes me feel when I have it in water, but I don't really understand the rationale. What exactly is in lemon juice that I can't get from any other source? I'm not being obtuse; I just don't understand why I " need " it given the nutrient-rich diet that I tend to eat. Just my own personal experience... in IN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have time to look up the difference between stevia and sugar, but there is a difference. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Francisca, Stevia versus Sugar 1. Stevia Powder Extract (Stevia rebaudiana) contains nutrients: protein, carbohydrate, vitamins (A,B,C), minerals (iron, zinc, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and White Sugar (Sucrose) contains no nutrients. 2. Stevia contains no calories, and White Sugar contains 15.4 calories per teaspoon. 3. Stevia promotes healthy teeth, and gums while White sugar promotes tooth decay. 4. Stevia may aid weight loss, and White sugar promotes obesity. 5. Stevia controls diabetes, and White sugar promotes diabetes. 6. Stevia - Less is needed, and White sugar More is needed.

See this reference for more information: http://www.naturessunshine.ca/members/articles/Stevia.asp Bee ----- Hi Bee I'm a bit confused by this, or am I reading it incorrectly? The web site that you have quoted from says less Stevia and more white sugar??? Maybe they got it wrong on the web site or maybe I am reading it incorrectly??? The reason I purchased Stevia was not because of the need for sweetness (I don't have a sweet tooth) but for the health benefits I read about on the Net. When I remember, I add a few drops of Stevia to my egg drink in the morning, for the health benefits, not for the sweet taste so much. Although it does help to take the 'edge' off it. I am surprised Stevia is recommended as a 'last resort' for sweetening things on this diet? My reading has lead me to believe it is a good thing to take. Oh, btw, I started adding 1 cup of Pau D'Arco tea (cooled after steeping) into my egg drink and it tastes sooo much better. I also add 3 teaspoons of liquid chlorophyll (yup, a lovely green drink) but I think the two liquids helps to bring the drink altogether...taste wise and no more 'clumping' of coconut oil, which was hard to drink.

Also read the articles in the Allergies Folder; healing > reactions are not allergic reactions my friend. I'll certainly check out those files when I get a moment. I never said that I was " allergic " to lemons. I've just tended to avoid their juice in water because of the way I end up reacting. If I make a salad dressing though, I don't have the same reaction. It just doesn't make sense to me that I can do fine with lemon juice in food, on fish, in salad dressing, but then I feel downright horrid when I have it alone in water (with stevia or sea salt.) If lemons are so good for me, it shouldn't matter whether or not I have the juice with food or just in plain water, should it? Maybe this is all covered in those files and I'm asking stupid questions. in IN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I thought that stevia does not get absorbed by the intestines like sugar does. I remember reading that somewhere.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Yeah, I read that somewhere too, but what about candida? does this fungus can assimilate stevia?

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Dear , The lemon juice in water might cause you problems because of your stomach acid levels in your stomach - see the Digestion Folder on how to test for stomach acid levels. Adding 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to the electrolyte drink will help. No question is stupid my friend, and there are so many files it's hard to know where to go for the answers. So no worries .

Makes perfect sense now! The reason I purchased Stevia was not because of the need for sweetness (I don't have a sweet tooth) but for the health benefits I read about on the Net.

Luckily I don't have a sweet tooth, so shouldn't be a problem for me. Oh, btw, I started adding 1 cup of Pau D'Arco tea (cooled after steeping) into my egg drink and it tastes sooo much better. I also add 3 teaspoons of liquid chlorophyll (yup, a lovely green drink) but I think the two liquids helps to bring the drink altogether...taste wise and no more 'clumping' of coconut oil, which was hard to drink. ==>Good for you Jen! It's great you are creating your own drink. The coconut oil will not clump if you added boiling water. +++ I tried a warm egg drink this morning. Didn't like it at all. I came out with this almighty beltch and my son looked at me in horror! LOL I'll stick to the cold for now, or perhaps try the other idea of " cooking " the eggs with a little boiling water in the whizzer first, allow to cool and then add the other goodies. I am having fun with the egg drink additions. I find that I get msot of my fats from it. I'm still trying to work on upping my fat intake and have been playing around with recipies, as much as my 5 year old is not impressed!

I make my egg drink at night and put the blender jar in the frig. I like it much better cold. Sometimes I double the eggs and tripple the coconut oil. It gets really think in the refrigerator and turns into a kind of a delicious custard. Obviously, I don't eat the whole thing at once!

He probably doesn't care that it is extremely healthy either. LOL! Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
