Stevia is widely used as a sweetener in Japan; it accounts for 40% of the sweetener market in Japan. Authorities in Paraguay, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Malaysia, Korea and Taiwan have approved the use of stevia. The Coca-Cola Company has used stevia to sweeten its products after its human studies proved that stevia has no negative effect on the human body. |
