Stevia Rebaudiana

Hi
Stevia Rebaudiana
I have read that it is unsafe but some say it is very safe

Is there someone who knows some information about it
Thanks advanced

You may like to read about the affect that Stevia has on the gut biome. There is very little information out there on it.

Stevia is an expensive product and many food manufacturers will use a mixture of Stevia plus other sweeteners to offset this cost. You should read the ingredients label on all foodstuffs because some of these sweeteners are in fact sugars.

My personal view is that it is better to conquer the craving for sweet tasting foodstuffs rather than use an alternative sweetening agent but I am one of very few members here who hold this view.

I use pure Stevia drps to avoid the bulking agents - each bottle is quite expensive but lasts for ages as you only need 1-2 drops in a mug of coffee / tea

I have not read of this anywhere. The problem lies with the lack of unbiased, long term research into these additives (apart from the emerging correlations regarding Aspartame).
