Stevia is a plant-based, zero-calorie sweetener. It may reduce calorie intake when used to replace sugar and benefit blood sugar control and heart health. Still, these benefits are not fully.Stevia leaves have up to 150 times the sweetness of sugar and the extract can be 300 times sweeter than sugar (compared to Splenda, which is 600 times sweeter than sugar). 1 Adding to its appeal is the fact that stevia products (that are not combined with other sweeteners) contain no calories.
The taste of stevia varies from person to person.Stevia, or rather stevia extract, is a popular plant-based sweetener with almost no calories. It doesn’t have a chemical structure like artificial non-nutritive sweeteners, nor sugar alcohols so.Replacing sugar with low-calorie sweeteners, such as aspartame, stevia, and sucralose, is one way people attempt to solve this conundrum, but some studies suggest that they might not be better.
People given an aspartame or stevia snack (zero added calories) consumed less calories throughout the day than did people given a sugar snack. In other words, stevia and aspartame didn’t cause people to compensate for the calorie deficit. They still ate less.Stevia is a sweetener extracted from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant, which is native to some parts of South America.
The leaves contain substances knowns as.Stevia is appealing to many people because it is low in calories.

Why does anything need to be sweet? Coffee with milk, no sweetener, is perfect.
i just start use stevia and its good but I don’t like sweet things
I HAVE HAD CANDIDA IN.THE PAST. WHICH ONES DO I AVOID FOR FUTURE REFERENCE PLEASE?
could you do the same type of video for xylit and erythrit as a sugar substitute?:)
I am 20 years old. I weight 113 kg. Could there be any possibility that I would lose weight without loss-weight skin??? Please I need help.
I find stevia to have a bitter taste and it makes me bloated.:(
im from Venezuela south america and i’ve been using stevia for about 2 years. for me have been great no side effects of any kind. my period is regular and my reproductive system is ok. I didnt find anything that proof that theory.
Finally someone answers this question! Most articles don’t address Truvia at all. Thank you for the information!
since I started using stevia I lost my period (my hormons are functioning great btw)
Hi, so which is the best product “stevia” which does not contain dextrin?, thanks in advance
“Negative benefits” is an oxymoron. Perhaps “negative effects” would make more sense.
I hate the ‘diet” aftertaste of stevia. I would rather not have a sweetener at all. Can you do a monk fruit vs. Stevia taste video please? Love all of your videos Darius. THANK YOU
I’m not drinking this no more don’t want nothing f**** with my dick I love to have sex too much I’m The Ladies Man
But what about thier impact long term? How would stevia or eritheatol impact kidneya or liver in the long run, especially for a diebetic?
Hello All,
Myself Kiran Kumar working for Steviaworld.com if you are interested in growing stevia please contact [email protected] steviaworld.com 8892632742.
We buy back at Rs. 120 per kg.
Thank you
Pardon my sarcasm but this video made me wonder if they were going to say “Taking Stevia MIGHT cause a shortage in red coloured postage stamps”.
The world doesn´t hear enough about the dangers of the poisonous sweetener Aspartame.
Stevia with milk coffee or tea so bitter after taste isn’t affecting me.
Monk fruit and coconut sugar for cooking or dessert or Asian sweet soup. Usually anything that requires higher heat or cook for a certain time.
Honey with water during sore throat or flu. It just taste the best if I can only mix it with water. Room temperature water. Also should not let the honey water sit for too long. Try to finish it within a few hours of making.
Raw sugar crystals use lime to make. Stevia does not. I have used it in my coffee and tea and cereal for 15 years now. It keeps my blood pressure low so no need for drugs to that. It also keeps me from gaining weight. I use it in cakes and cookies. It is healthy and you only need a micro bit to sweeten anything. It is very very sweet. It takes 300 times the sugar to sweeten as much as one tsp of Stevia. You may not like the taste but you get used to it. Americans use way too much sugar and that is one of the reasons they are overweight. It is best when least processed.
what are your feelings about splenda and raw natural brown sugar? We tried Stevia for our family but could not get over the weird after taste. Any suggestions to overcome that?
If Japan produces stevia, I would say like arigato gojai mass… Produce
Molasses is better alternative…..but natural sugar is brown..
I’m glad you did this video. Stevia is just a sweetner you have to watch the ingredients. Dextrose and maltodextrin are those hidden ones it’s mixed with. I just avoid stevia for the most part or just get organic liquid.
I just noticed my Stevia has maltodextrin in it…What do you suggest?
Natural Stevia straight from the plant is the best way to go. No processing and no bureaucratic bs. Japan has been using Stevia in their sodas for years. The US government banned stevia because of purely political reasons. So stupid.
Be sure not to buy stevia that has maltodextrine or dextrose in it. I just heard about this on Dr. Becky Gillaspys video on stevia.
The worst ingredient you mentioned is ‘natural flavors”. There are 6,000 of them and they are not made in the US they are sent here from Europe. Even the FDA has no idea what is in natural flavors, they are not governed by any U.S. agency. And many of them are terribly dangerous to your body, just because something kills you slowly doesn’t mean it’s not killing you. Benzine or benzoate is in every bread in any store in America. It is also a flame retardant. azodicarbonamide is in 500 foods, including healthy ‘natural’ foods..it is also used to make yoga mats..the FDA actually approves of this one in small doses..I know you mean well, but check your stuff. Truvia does not break down well and is dangerous. in And as it turns out even though proper form Stevia is way better, doesn’t make your insulin spike (truvia might), the chemical compounds used to get the stevia out of the plant may be be very toxic…I am putting up a huge site about natural flavors, it’s frightening..cheers
Thank you for your video! It was very helpful. Still researching about Monk fruit just to make sure what brand is better to consume.
All artificial sweeteners clog the digestive tract and cause constipation. They stick to the lining of the gut when the body attempts to absorb their small molecules.
This video was absolutely useless. Even tells you to do your research on it when that’s the reason you’re here in the first place.
I use whole dehydrated and crumbled leaves of stevia. It annoys me that people use the name of the plant to describe a man made commercially concentrated and marketed substance. They are not the same!!!!!!
not sure about erythritol but Xylotol =about 4 poops per tsp, not good stuff!
people you have to understand…its about comparing baddddd thing like (sugar) with less badd (stevia) dont expect toooo much while searching for things…even breathing more than normal people is abnormal so please stop crying lol we live in an imperfect world…deal wid it haha
Incredibly helpful Dr mona I’ve heard of half of what you’ve mentioned I’m trying to be healthy and lose weight but the sugar cravings get the better of me. These suggestions I will be definitely trying. Changing diet and replacing these alternative would help in weight loss too? Xxx
SO,, what you’re saying is, that if it’s good, it’s use must be discouraged!
Hi Thomas. I love your work! May I ask you a question, please? My brother and sister in law told me that stevia causes infertility in women. As a stevia lover, I’m hoping this isn’t true. I haven’t found much evidence to support their claim, however, i’m concerned that the liquid stevia i consume daily is going to do more harm than good. What do you know about this?
I AM DANA AND I USE STAVIA… SINCE I HAVE HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE LOWER BLOOD PRESSURE WOULD BE ALRIGHT… I AM DIABETIC LOWER SUGAR CONTENT WOULD ALRIGHT…BUT I HEARD ON THIS VIDEO IS CHEAPER… SPLENDA WITH STAVIA IS TWICE AS EXPENSIVE IN THE GROCERY STORE WHICH IS CALLED HYVEE IN IOWA AND MISSOURI.. STAVIA MADE BY HYVEE IS TWICE AS EXPENSIVE AS THE OTHER ARTIFICIAL SWEETNERS…
I WISH THEY OFFERED COUPONS TO GET STAVIS CHEAPER IN GROCERY STORES IN THE MIDWEST… I GO TO THE DOCTOR TWICE A YEAR AND EVERYTHING IS MONITORED, HEART AND KIDNEYS AND ALL OTHER TESTS ON A EXTENDED BLOOD TEST…STAVIA TASTEWS GOOD BUT I HEAR HORRIBLE THINGS ABOUT THE OTHER ARTIFICIAL SWEETNERS…. COUPONS WOULD GREAT AND PROBABVLY WOULD BUY MORE STAVIA AT A TIME, BUT NOT AT TWICE THE COST AS OTHER SWEETNERS… DANA FROM OTTUMWA, IOWA
One packet won’t kill you..Truvia taste better..if you eat less calories can you still loose weight?
1200 for me seems like a lot especially with fat and Im sick of cheese and meat..but I end up loosing more if I stick with my macros and eat close to 1200 calories.
If I eat 300 calories or less than that I end up gaining weight.. all of it is a very delicate balance.
I use stevia all the time. I drink stevia pop everyday. STEVIA ROCKS
The problem is the taste. It doesn’t taste like sugar and leaves a rather strange aftertaste.
Have you heard of Fuxion health beverages? Fuxion Biotech is based out of Peru and their healthy beverages use true extracted Stevia in all of their health beverages and their products are also available in the U.S and 16 other countries. Nice video Thomas!
I use this erythritol-Stevia liquid from Walmart: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Great-Value-Liquid-No-Calorie-Stevia-Sweetener-1-68-fl-oz/42279263
No dextrose with maltodextrin like the powder.
I hate stevia it tastes really nasty and I hate the after taste of it
I don’t quite care for the taste of straight up stevia, and so it’s not my favorite sugar substitute though I will use it from time to time.
My favorite sugar substitute is actually xylitol (a sugar alcohol), but only if it is sources from natural hardwood and not corn (which is a potential for GMO tainted xylitol). It tastes and measures just like sugar (with a slight cooling sensation when tried plain), and so works great with sweetening beverages without the guess work. I have yet to try it in baking, though, so I can’t really speak to that.
Oh, and xylitol is digested independent of insulin and has zero impact on one’s glycemic index. That’s pretty wonderful! That being said, though, some people are sensitive to sugar alcohols (like xylitol and erythritol) and they can lead to such unpleasantries as cramping and diarrhea. You just have to use common sense, experiment around, and do whatever works for you.
hi doc can you do a vid on salt? thats my problem. thank you love watching your informative vids.
I use Stevia.What about natural monk fruit sweetener?I use monk fruit sweetener,stevia and agave.
you said stevia is FDA approved although FDA say: FDA has not permitted the use of whole-leaf Stevia or crude Stevia extracts because these substances have not been approved for use as a food additive. FDA does not consider their use in food to be GRAS in light of reports in the literature that raise concerns about the use of these substances.
My personal experience of consuming stevia is not good especially if you are a woman as it causes your menstrual cycle to stop. After doing research online I found out that it is used as a contraceptive in third world countries. Google stevia and missing periods and you will know what I am talking about. Please don’t use it!! Hope this helps
SPLENDA® is also the brand name for the ingredient sucralose. It is made through a patented, multi-step process that starts with sugar and converts it to a no calorie, non-carbohydrate sweetener. The process selectively replaces three hydrogen-oxygen groups on the sugar molecule with three chlorine atoms. Chlorine is a natural part of salt, which is found in many foods, like lettuce, tomatoes, mushrooms, melons, and peanut butter, and chlorine is added to most public water supplies. Chlorine is also a part of more complex molecules found in such things as lentils, peas, and potatoes. It is a part of daily life. In the case of sucralose, its addition converts sucrose to sucralose, which is essentially inert. The result is an exceptionally stable sweetener that tastes like sugar, but without sugar’s calories. Sucralose isn’t broken down for energy, and is not recognized by the body as a carbohydrate.
The calorie and carbohydrate content for SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Packets and Granulated is as follows:
SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated
1 teaspoon = 0.5 gm carbohydrate = 2 calories
*1 teaspoon has the sweetness of 1 teaspoon of sugar
SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Packet
1 packet 9 gm of carbohydrate = 4 calories
*1 packet has the sweetness of 2 teaspoons of sugar
Per U.S. labeling laws, anything with less than 5 calories per serving, is properly labeled as “zero” or no-calorie.
The calories and carbohydrates in SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener come from dextrose and/or maltodextrin, which are added for bulk. Sucralose, the sweetening ingredient in all SPLENDA® Sweetener Products, has no calories and is not a carbohydrate.
I’d have to pour like 6 tbsp of suger to get the sweetness from 3 tiny packs of sweetener. Sugar is way more likely to cause weight gain than sweetener. Plus I think getting diabetes from sugar is WAY more likely than cancer from sweeteners….
Hey love your videos:)
Can you please do a video for which tea type is healthier??:)
My nutrition class taught me that most sugars are relatively the same. Don’t over consume sugar alcohols and avoid added sugars. Sugar 101 done!
the issue with stevia is that, no matter how you process it, you can’t eliminate the horrible after-taste. personally i need to get used to stevia. reason is that everytine i had my juice or tea with a drop of stevia, i would choke and start coughing my lungs out.
I thought this was a Dr Berg video at first glance because you were wearing a shirt.
Natural is always better. At least your body recognizes what it is but limit your added sugar in products to a minimum while getting your natural sugar from an also natural source like fruits and vegetables in moderation.
Neither of them are good for you but sugar is the worst thing u can put in ur body
So now let’s talk about how sugar increases your chances of heart disease…
I need to try these, specialty my mom ☺️ she’s diabetic, so some these alternatives would be good for her, I think ☺️
Fertility??? I was expecting you to talk about fertility. Stevia apparently can shrink your balls
Will stevia kick you out of IF? And is there a difference between stevia powder and stevia drops?
Greetings from Fiji. Thanks for the info. Just bought a stevia plant. Very interesting. Vinaka.
You’re awesome! Today I uploaded video how sugar kills people. I think it’s intresting��.
okay this seems more about the processed stevia not the organic plant form of stevia.
A lot of people can not tolerate stevia which causes bloating, cramping and gas
I put 1 packet of Truvia in my coffee and top it off with a little bit of honey to add taste
You didn’t mention what the “natural flavors” is in truvia. Maybe it was truvial.
I dont have digestive issues with truvia. Is it ok in my tea during IF?
