Already recognized as a zero calorie, all natural sweetener, Dr. Shevchenko is now studying stevia for its secondary metabolism applications, including its antioxidant properties. He has spoken at several international stevia conferences, including the 4th World Conference on Stevia (2012: Food & Beverages Formulation - The Subtle Balance) in Paris, France on May 24th, where he presented preliminary findings of his current research.
