Jammu, Apr 21: Governor of Arunachal Pradesh Jyoti Prasad Rajkhowa inaugurated international symposium on herbal sweetener 'Stevia' at Lovely Professional University today. LPU School of Biotechnology & Bio-Sciences had organized the symposium in collaboration with Green Valley Stevia (GVS) Bio-Tech. It brought hundreds of leading industry, researchers, academicians, NGOs, farmers and entrepreneurs on a common platform. Scores of international delegates from different countries including the USA, Canada, Malaysia and more participated. Important discussions were held on various beneficial topics of 'Stevia'- for health, its farming, product development, international trade and more.
Various speakers informed that the leaves of Stevia - a herb from the Chyrsanthemum family - are intensely sweet. In sweetness, its growth of one acre is equal to the growth of sugarcanes in 36 acres. In spite of being 300-450 times sweeter than sugar, its extract is considered to be having zero percent sugar level. Moreover, it needs less water than sugarcanes need for growth. Stevia helps in controlling blood glucose levels by using it as a natural sweetener. Everyone should be well aware of many health benefits of Stevia. In addition to controlling diabetes, this natural herb aids in weight loss, controls high blood pressure, kidney failures, heart attacks, reduces wrinkles and more health problems.
