Interesting. I stopped using Stevia in lieu of sugar years ago (pre covid era) because “it causes cancer”.
I guess it’s all in who’s selling it.
That’s only in California and I don’t live in California. LOL..
Seriously, it’s the exact opposite.
“Concerns about stevia and cancer may stem from research that showed a slight genetic toxicity in high amounts.
In a 2002 study, a high level of steviol was shown to have a weak mutagenic activity. The amount was equivalent to what one might use in 3,000 cups of coffee. In ordinary amounts, the genetic toxicity of stevia “can be regarded as negligible and safe,” wrote the study authors.
According to the American Cancer SocietyTrusted Source, stevia appears to be safe when used in moderation.”
