Sugar now costs 20 sen more per kg and is being retailed for RM1.65 per kilo in Peninsular Malaysia and RM1.75 in Sabah and Sarawak.Other goods prices predicted would increase gradually.
our demand for sugar here in malaysia is very high. Imagine almost every malaysian consumes 20 spoon of sugar everyday(7 spoon perday suggested). (Patut ler banyak org dapat darah tinggi)
Since there was no good reason for stick to use a sugar maybe its time for us to use what we call stevia.
Stevia is a genus of about 240 species of herbs and shrubs in the sunflower family (Asteraceae), native to subtropical and tropical South America and Central America. The species Stevia rebaudiana, commonly known as sweetleaf, sweet leaf, sugarleaf, or simply stevia, is widely grown for its sweet leaves. As a sweetener and sugar substitute, stevia's taste has a slower onset and longer duration than that of sugar, although some of its extracts may have a bitter or licorice-like aftertaste at high concentrations.
With its extracts having up to 300 times the sweetness of sugar, stevia has garnered attention with the rise in demand for low-carbohydrate, low-sugar food alternatives. Medical research has also shown possible benefits of stevia in treating obesity and high blood pressure. Because stevia has a negligible effect on blood glucose, it is attractive as a natural sweetener to people on carbohydrate-controlled diets.
