I thought I had finally found a healthy drink I liked with no artificial sweetness and they had to go and fuck it up

      To clarify I don’t necessarily have an issue with stevia itself it’s the fact that it is usually mixed with erythritol which is bad for you.

        Your photo shows no evidence of this.

        is bad for you

        I’m fucking done reading shit on the internet where people say things and expect us to believe them at face value. You made this statement, and it isn’t my burden to provide evidence to prove you correct, you will.

        Please provide everyone here a link for us to read and change our minds.

          Not the guy, but https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9028423/ was an interesting read.

          A quick glance on google about Stevia might lead you to this link, but the preview shows “Results showed that stevia might lead to microbial imbalance, disrupting the communication between Gram-negative bacteria in the gut via either the LasR or RhlR …” which seems bad, until you read the rest of the good things that Stevia is supposedly doing.

          Plus, the text behind that ellipses is “However, even if stevia inhibits these pathways, it cannot kill off the bacteria.”

          So this might just be some good old misinformation on google’s part.

          Edit: I mean to say that google is intentionally misleading people about Stevia.
