I would have to know how much stevia the mice were fed before making a judgement, but in these studies, It’s usually an astronomical amount for their size,; in other words, bogus.

The article was published in Saudi Pharmaceutical Journal in October 2020 and was riddled with typos and grammatical errors. The authors claim they received “no specific funding” for the study and there was no conflict of interest. So I guess they did it for sh!ts and giggles, lol.

As far as the amount of artificial sweeteners given to the young albino rats, both male and female, the study claims: In this study, Animal equivalent dose (AED) was calculated on the basis of body surface area by multiplying the human dose (mg/kg) by the Km ratio (AED = Human dose X Km ratio) according to Nair and Jacob (2016). Km ratio was obtained from FDA draft guidelines (2005).

Makes no sense to me but maybe someone here can decipher it.
