Stevia [Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni; Family Asteraceae] is a natural sweetener plant that is grown commercially in many parts of Brazil, Paraguay, Central America, Thailand, Korea, China and India. The leaves of stevia are the source of sweet glycosides. It is mainly used as a sweetener and flavor enhancer in the food and beverage industry. The chemical compound obtained from stevia is considered to be the best alternative source of sugar especially for diabetes patients. Climatic factors and agronomical practices affect the quality and quantity of yield. The concentration of stevioside in the leaves is higher when the stevia plants are grown under long days and when these plants are harvested just prior to flowering. Time of harvesting depends on land type, type of stevia and growing season. The first harvest can be done four months after planting and subsequent harvest once after every 3 months. Such medicinal plants are becoming fairly popular for the treatment of different diseases all over the world. It could be suitable for diabetic and obese persons. It also showed antibacterial, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, anti-fertility, hypotensive, diuretic and cardiotonic properties. Stevia is a small perennial shrub that has been used for centuries as a bio-sweetener and for other medicinal purposes. In addition, alternative sweeteners offer another benefit in maintaining good dental health. S. rebaudiana sweeteners are used sparingly and there seems to be no threat to public health. Stevia has been introduced to the Kenyan market as one of the cash crops for agro-based industry. The changes in leaf yield and accumulation of stevioside in response to different environmental conditions and nutritional variations might provide some leads to develop strategies for increasing the productivity of the stevia. Quality of the stevia product depends on drying temperature; high temperatures negatively affect quality, diminishing medicinal and commercial value. Multiple global regulatory organizations have determined that consumption of high quality stevia products within recommended doses is safe for all.

Sugar is one of the most important beloving ingredients in food products in today’s life and almost everyone enjoys it every day. It’s an essential structural component of living cells and a source of energy in many organisms. Although consumption of sugar activates the “feel-good hormone” of the brain on the other side it can even make you addicted to it. As sugar consumption grew in the latter part of the 20th century worldwide, different researchers from many countries examined the excessive use of sugar in our daily diet, especially refined sugar, as damaging to human health. This review thought could be concluded that we are in a sugar crisis, therefore, the alternative use of sweetens like stevia, making small dietary changes, and eliminating sugar from our diets as much as possible.

“…The discovery of insulin in 1922, strongly helped the control of diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM1), but oral administration of insulin is impossible and daily injection could cause side effects such as hypoglycemic‐allergic reaction in patients with diabetes. Also, insulin resistance is another major drawback for patients with DM1 (Kashi et al, 2013; Mostofa et al, 2010). Alternative medicine including herbal medicine is part of the current options for treating some complications in patients with diabetes and ethnobotanical research on herbal drugs is being conducted around the world, hoping to improve the efficacy of pharmaceuticals for diabetic patients (Skalli et al, 2019; Soejarto et al, 2019).…”
