Whatever you love is the center of a paradise. - Novalis
Most people love animals and treat their pets as valuable family members. Pets provide companionship, bring joy to our lives, give us affection and share our homes, our food and our lives, and we do everything we can to ensure their well-being and happiness.
Only humans can bond so closely with members of other species and make animals part of their family. Pets are embedded in many human cultures. We give birds, cats and dogs names of people, buy them toys and other gifts, dress them for the holidays, talk to them as if they were human beings, and grieve when they die.
Owning a pet is exciting, but it comes with many responsibilities. It's not just a time commitment – it's also a financial one and can be expensive. So it might seem strange, especially, if you consider that grooming often goes one way, because you can't really expect the pet in the family to give you something material in return. So why are we doing this?
Pets are kept for the pleasure that they could give their masters, and often this pleasure is mutual. This is, for example, the case with birds, dogs, cats and horses. Therefore, keeping a pet can be described as a symbiotic relationship that is beneficial for both human beings and animals.
Humans have kept pets since prehistoric times, and pets can be found in almost all cultures and societies, so it seems that humans do it to satisfy a universal human need.
Relationships between owners and pets are based on companionship and affection. Pets have an emotional attachment to their masters and other family members. They evolved to be in tune with our emotions and behavior.
Dogs are able to read the body language of their owners and react to it faster than humans. They change facial expressions when people are paying attention. Dogs can also understand many words and interpret the tone of voice.
We ask forgiveness and hope that at another juncture time will be our ally and no one and nothing will separate us, as they did in this existence with you, our dogs!
Stevia is considered a "natural non-caloric sweetener." Saccharin and sucralose are considered "non-nutritive sweeteners" (few or no calories). Aspartame is a "nutritive sweetener" (adds some calories but far less than sugar).
Aspartame comes with a warning to be used cautiously (or not at all) by people with a rare genetic disease (called phenylketonuria, or PKU) because they have trouble metabolizing it; that's not true for the other sweeteners. And all four vary on their level of sweetness and aftertaste, which is likely why people often prefer one over another.

Stevia is an ideal replacement for traditional sugar, especially if you have diabetes or a carbohydrate-controlled diet. That way, you can enjoy sweet foods without dealing with diabetic complications. Unlike normal sugar made of sucrose, stevia contains stevioside. It is a glycoside compound, not a carbohydrate. Table sugar is absorbed into the bloodstream. As stevioside breaks down, the glucose is absorbed in the colon by bacteria.

Sweeteners: Time to rethink your choices?
Pancreatic cancer has an extremely poor prognosis, largely due to a poor record for early detection. Known risk factors for pancreatic cancer include obesity, diet, and diabetes, implicating glucose consumption and regulation as a key player. The role of artificial sweeteners may therefore be pertinent to disease kinetics. The oncogenic impact of artificial sweeteners is a highly controversial area. #Stevia #kombucha #ikombucha ro #ikombucha

Stevia, a zero-calorie sugar substitute, is recognized as safe by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). In vitro and in vivo studies showed that stevia has antiglycemic action and antioxidant effects in adipose tissue and the vascular wall, reduces blood pressure levels and hepatic steatosis, stabilizes the atherosclerotic plaque, and ameliorates liver and kidney damage. The metabolism of steviol glycosides is dependent upon gut microbiota, which breaks down glycosides into steviol that can be absorbed by the host. In this review, we elucidated the effects of stevia’s consumption on the host’s gut microbiota. #Stevia #kombucha #ikombucha ro #ikombucha

To help offset potential stevia induced gut challenges, support your gut flora with fiber and prebiotics like FOS10 (fructo-oligosaccharides). Increase your intake of beneficial bacteria Lactobacillus and Bifidus to aid in a healthier gut microbiome.
Consider foods and nutrients like cruciferous vegetables (Brussels sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale), silymarin, dandelion, resveratrol, curcumin, magnesium, zinc, limonene, B vitamins, and omega-3 oils to help your liver’s glucuronidation pathway.

Ancestral intake of the raw stevia leaf was extremely limited compared to current exposures of refined stevia found in many manufactured food products. I am a proponent of using foods in their natural, whole form when possible.
Avoid processed refined sugars and foods with added sugars, but rather use raw local honey, blackstrap molasses, real maple syrup, or other natural sugars. Think about it, would your grandmother or great grandmother use something like refined stevia in their made from scratch homemade recipes?
