Recently someone told me that some are really bad for your liver and in large amounts not healthier than large amounts of sugar.
I haven’t had time to look up their sources, but it was a professor at uni who told them. Do you have any insight that I might be lacking?
Now I am not interested in stuff like the bogus aspartam rat studies, those weren’t any good.
I mostly believe that most artificial sweeteners are not very unhealthy and thus miles better than sugars. So drinks or food sweetened with it should be good imo.
yes it is, I meant to say that I don’t think it’s much better in this regard. It’s less refined though and that’s a plus. If it were available I would totally buy sweetener on stevioside basis.
Yeah, that makes sense. I have a friend who grows stevia indoors and just uses the dried, ground up leaves for sweetening her tea. That’s a cheap way to get a sweetener if you have some window space to spare.
I have done that in the past! But I don’t drink a lot of tea and the stevia leaves have a strong taste to them. Still crazy how sweet they are though.
