Point Roberts, WA - February 14, 2013 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com staff: Investorideas.com, an investor research portal specializing in sector research for independent investors issues a snapshot for the stevia market and related stocks. Just a day ahead of Valentine’s Day; a day of celebration where sugar is a key ingredient, the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) issued a press release that it has filed a 54-page regulatory petition detailing the substantial scientific evidence that added sugars, especially in drinks, causes weight gain, obesity, and chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and gout.
According to their release, "soda and other sugar drinks are the single biggest source of calories in the American diet. Americans, on average, consume between 18 and 23 teaspoons--about 300 to 400 calories worth--of added sugars per day."As sugar is targeted, natural sweeteners such as stevia are positioned to be major winners in the battle against obesity.
