Stevia all natural sweetner
What is Stevia?
Stevia is a composite herb native to South America
(Genus Stevia, especially S. rebaudiana, native to
Paraguay) whose leaves are the source of a noncaloric
sweetener.
Stevia is perhaps unique among food ingredients because
it's most valued for what it doesn't do. It doesn't add calories.
Unlike other sugar substitutes, stevia is derived from a plant.
The stevia plant is part of the Asteraceae family, related to the
daisy and ragweed. Several stevia species called "candyleaf"
are native to New Mexico, Arizona and Texas.
But the prized species, Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni), grows in
Paraguay and Brazil, where people have used leaves from the
stevia bush to sweeten food for hundreds of years.
In traditional medicine in these regions, stevia also served as a
treatment for burns, colic, stomach problems and sometimes as a
contraceptive.

A typical kitchen in the 1800's
Dieting in the 1800's:
Obsession with weight and how to lose it dates back at
least 150 years, and probably much more. While now we
say "overweight" instead of "corpulent", and obesity has
become epidemic, a look back at dieting history shows
what hasn't changed is the quest for an easy fix.
"We grossly, grossly underestimate" the difficulty of changing
behaviors that fuel obesity, says Clemson University sociologist
Ellen Granberg, who studied archives at the Library of Congress.
She believes it's important to show 'we're not dealing with some
brand new, scary phenomenon we've never dealt with before."
Consider Englishman William Banting's account of losing almost
50 pounds in a year. He did it by shunning "bread, butter, milk,
sugar, beer and potatoes, which had been the main
(and I thought innocent) elements of my existence" in favor of
loads of meat.
His pamphlet, "Letter on Corpulence, Addressed to the Public,"
quickly crossed the Atlantic and become so popular here that
"banting" became slang for dieting, Granberg says.
While obesity has rapidly surged in the last few decades,
we first changed from a nation where being plump was desirable
into a nation of on-again, off-again dieters around the end of the
19th century, Granberg says.
Before then, people figured a little extra weight might help withstand
infectious diseases that vaccines and antibiotics later would tame.
It also was a sign of prosperity.
