    Q: �Is stevia safe for diabetics? What sweetener elements (glucose, sucrose, fructose)
    does it have?�

    Stevia is considered safe in many countries in the world - not just for diabetics, but for
    anyone. But it is not approved for use raw in the U.S., though it�s legal for use in
    products per the FDA since 2008; in the European Union, it�s been approved since 2011.
    In Japan, it�s been used (and studied and found safe) for decades.

    It contains NONE of the sweetening compounds in your list - it derives its sweetness
    from steviol glycoside, which is derived from a shrub and is a natural herb. It has NO
    caloric benefit, so it is a natural non-nutritive sweetener.
