Thanks for the post. The linked study is not definitive, but it seems legit. So it’s something that should be considered.
I need to watch my sugar intake, so I tried stevia. I don’t like the after-taste. No sugar for me. No stevia. I guess I’m just stuck with unsweetened iced tea with a twist of lemon. Not so bad, actually.
These are the ingredients of Sweet Leaf, used in the study, inulin, stevia leaf extract and silica. This should disqualify that study in its entirety, as Inulin, can cause all the issues that were highlighted in the study. It is just another hit piece, by the makers of sucralose, neotame, aspartame, Ace K and saccharine.
