Is Stevia Really Safe?

Stevia is marketed as a “natural, plant-based, zero-calorie” sweetener.

But here’s the truth most people don’t know…

Stevia has a long history of being studied as a contraceptive.

As far back as the 1960s and 70s, researchers in Paraguay and Brazil found that female rats given daily doses of stevia extract showed:

• Reduced fertility

• Smaller litter sizes

• Lower conception rates

One study in particular reported that stevia disrupted fertility, reduced pregnancy rates and litter size, altered the sex ratio of offspring, and even extended gestation.

In other words, it doesn’t just sweeten your coffee.

It interferes with your hormones.

And here’s one last thing you should know: the “stevia” sold in grocery stores isn’t pure stevia.

It’s usually mized with erythritol and “natural flavors.”

So while the label says “plant-based,” what you’re really getting is a cocktail of processed extracts with well-documented effects on fertility and hormone balance.

Your body is already under enough attack from plastics, seed oils, and environmental toxins.

The last thing it needs is another endocrine disruptor disguised as a wellness product.

Until next time,
