Abstract

With the increase of obesity and diabetes, low-calorie, and natural sweeteners that can be used instead of sugar have become urgent. Stevia rebaudiana is used as an alternative natural sweetener in many countries because it is 200-300 times sweeter than sucrose, has no negative impact on human health, is low-calorie and natural, and is suitable for the use of obesity and diabetes patients. Recently, some studies have been conducted on the favorable properties of steviol glycosides on oral health, as well.
