Sugar-Free Vanilla, 2 Pints

This Vanilla ice cream has no sugar in it so it is diabetic-friendly.  What does this mean exactly? Here is the list of ingredients (not in any particular order):  Whole Milk, Heavy Cream, Stevia Leaf Extract, Pure Vanilla Extract, Pure Vanilla Bean Paste, and Eggs.  More details can be found on the container's label.   Most of our ice cream flavors have sugar in them. It is a simple and natural ingredient to sweeten foods. Sugar gets digested into glucose, C6H12O6, which is used for energy in your body. For diabetics, the glucose levels cannot be regulated and accumulate in your bloodstream.  This eventually becomes a health problem with high glucose levels.   Instead of sugar for this ice cream, we use Stevia Leaf Extract. This sweetener is over 200 times sweeter than sugar. The sweetener in Stevia is based on the Steviol Glycosides, which is C38H60O18. Being a sweeter and more complex molecule means it can be used as a sugar substitute without worrying about it converting to glucose
