Does Stevia Cause Cancer?
August 7, 2023 | by Yashaswi Pathakamuri | Posted in FAQ's
There is no strong scientific evidence to suggest that stevia causes cancer in humans. Stevia is a natural sweetener derived from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant and has been used as a sugar substitute for many years.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other regulatory authorities worldwide have approved the use of stevia as a safe sugar substitute. It has been extensively studied for its safety profile, and the available evidence supports its safety when used within acceptable daily intake levels.
However, it’s important to note that like any other food additive or sweetener, stevia should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. If you have specific health concerns or questions about the safety of stevia, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian who can provide personalized advice based on your health status and dietary needs.
