Sweetener product in the food market, misleading for diabetics and other diets that are intended to reduce calories. Market techniques mislead the unwary because of the phonetic and graphic similarity of svetia with stevia, plant ( stevia rebaudiana ) and derivative of it, product marketed in the European Union from 2011, although in Latin America has been used as a sweetener for centuries. Stevia does not add calories, that is the ideal sweetener for diabetics: not raises glucose in blood, but yes brings vitamins and other elements as opposed to other non-natural sweeteners.
