Stevia... why is it being forced into every "Natural" product?

Stevia causes insulin response:

Stevioside acts directly on pancreatic beta cells to secrete insulin: actions independent of cyclic adenosine monophosphate and adenosine triphosphate-sensitive K+-channel activity

Went to a coffee shop the other day and asked for sugar and they gave me stevia packs. I said, no the sugar please. They don’t even carry sugar anymore. I literally said “are you fucking kidding me?” then drank my coffee black

Those sweeteners are garbage.

I don't know about the US, but here Stevia is replacing aspartame in products that previously used tha later. I would take Stevia any day instead of aspartame. Stevia is a natural product, aspartame is an artificial neurotoxin.

I bought seeds to grow Stevia this spring but never got them in the ground. From rareseeds.

Are you saying the plant is bad for you?

Studies, studies, there are studies saying anything and its opposite. Anything you eat has some negative effect somewhere. Just be wise and seek balance.

The stuff tastes disgusting to me.

People say it can be good.

I'd just as soon skip it and go without.

The raw leaf and its unrefined components are NOT GRAS according to the FDA.

Just because it's natural doesn't mean it's good for you.

There are a lot of poisons in nature.

Stevia Risks

The FDA approved only the purified form of stevia, called stevioside, as safe to use. Products considered safe contain words in their ingredient list such as stevia extract or Stevia rebaudiana. If you see whole stevia leaves or crude stevia extracts at your local natural foods store, don’t buy them. The FDA says it doesn’t have enough information about their potential impact on your health, including kidney and cardiovascular problems.




Ahhhh yes, if you grow your own you'll die because you're not supporting wall street bankers.

Occasionally, I'll drink a lot of re-hydration/electrolyte drinks. Some have sugar, some have Stevie. I prefer the sugar ones, but we all know too much sugar is bad. I don't want to become diabetic. So, I try to limit my sugar. I'll mix 2 re-hydration products like fruit punch flavored DripDrop and fruit punch flavored NUUN together. One contains sugar, the other contains Stevie. Tastes fine.

I do eat other things that have sugar in it, so it all does add up. So, I try to compromise where I can.

Stevia>sugar

Stevia found in products or alone in stores is refined from the leaves using solvents and other industrial methods. It's not "natural" at that point.

The "natural" form isn't even allowed by the FDA.

Growing your own anything is great! Totally on you if you want to poison yourself with home-grown Stevia. Don't do it.

I like natural products. I understand it's better to make your own. However, sometimes that is not an option.

Fed up with the Stevia invasion. It needs to get lost!

But they think it's okay to inject the world with untested poison.

Whatever benefits the bankers is their truth.

For their pharmakeia and banker beast system.

What if i told you they tried all the scientific sweeteners only to return to stevia.

Because it's healthy and natural.

You don't say!

Yes, there are, and a lot of them will also cure you, in the right dosage.

What really bothers me, many stevia sweeteners include other ingredients that spike blood sugar more than refined white sugar. I threw out a large container of it after realizing this.

Stevia reduces fertility. That’s been known for years. Hell, the native Indians in Paraguay drank it as a contraceptive.

That is why it is being put into so many products. Get the population down by promoting stevia, just like they promote transgenderism and homosexuality, two reproductive dead ends.

Are than any actual conspiracy theorists here on this forum, apart from myself and perhaps a half-dozen others? I seriously wonder. This has been common knowledge among CT’s for at least two decades now.

stevia sucks! it tastes just like aspartame. faux health product.

Long story short, there seemed to be a correlation between stevia consumption and foot pain for both my father and I.

Stopped the stevia and neither of us have the foot pain any more.

Oh, and here’s one link out of many regarding this issue:

Stevia Can Cause Infertility In Males And Females

Stevia makes you skinny.

Be fat and virus prone.

That's interesting. I've been reading this site for over a decade and never heard about the stevia conspiracy.

Lol

But it totally explains it if it's a natural contraceptive.

Natural birth control.

A water decoction of the plant Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni reduces fertility in adult female rats of proven fertility. The decoction continues to descrease fertility for at least 50 to 60 days after intake is stopped. The decoction did not affect appetite and apparently did not affect the health of adults rats.

Oh look, NOT poisonous.

Adam and eve, not stevia.
