This point cannot be stressed enough: Not all stevia products are created equal. There is a HUGE difference between consuming real stevia and chemically processed stevia products like Truvia.
Truvia only contains less than 1 percent stevia. Yes, you read that correctly — LESS THAN 1 PERCENT! Truvia is really barely a stevia product, but people, unfortunately, believe that this sweetener is natural and harmless. If you avoid Truvia and choose the right stevia product, then dangerous stevia side effects are basically nonexistent — unless, of course, you have a ragweed allergy (more on that later).
A 1999 study indicates stevia decreases the fertility of male animal subjects. The amount of stevia is not specified, but it was administered for 60 days. The concern is that stevia extracts could affect hormones because their glycosides have a similar structure to plant hormones like gibberellin. But many herbs, including ginkgo Biloba, also have this natural component, and if consumed in moderation, it’s a non-issue. Follow-up studies have also found that stevia has no effect on hormones.
