Scientists Supercharge Sugar Substitute – And It Starts Killing Cancer

The ironic coincidence is that I just began growing and using stevia as a sugar replacement this year. Stevia is 50 to 300 times sweeter than sugar.
It is a plant from South America that is just beginning to be grown as a farm crop in the USA.
There are several Stevia plant strains. I grow and use the Bertoni strain as it is far sweeter.
If I put more than about 1/8 tsp. in my coffee, it is too sweet to drink.
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.
Wow.
Does the patient STILL get a migraine from it?
I - and a double handful of my “headache patients” - all get severe migraines after eating Stevia.
Yeah, yeah, I know, Stevia is “natural,” well, so too is Foxglove, Hemlock, Oleander and Castor beans.
I think I remember reading how there’s a store bought version that’s cut with a dangerous filler chemical.

I don’t find it sweeterthan sugar, but it’s close to sugar. Problem is the bitterness. I use it but only for baking and not for direct eating like sweetening strawberries.
