Are There Risks
to Using Stevia?
Currently, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States
and Health Canada of Canada regulate herbal and dietary supplements
as foods, not as drugs. This means that the standard is not as rigid
or restrictive as it is for pharmaceuticals, and they are not approved
for their safety or effectiveness. Many herbs are toxic and the biggest
risk to consumers is when over the counter products are purchased
and consumed and then react adversely with prescription drugs that
a person may be taking. Any kind of herbal supplement should be avoided
during pregnancy or by women who are breast-feeding. The danger in
stevia rebaudiana is minimal.
Minor Stevia side effects are listed below:
Dizziness
Nausea
Headaches
Muscle weakness
Bloating
Although there currently is no conclusive evidence, it is speculated
that Stevia may interact with blood pressure medications and could
affect male fertility.
It has not been proven that drinking Stevia tea has any adverse side
effects. The dangers of Stevia seem to be minimal. On the other hand,
Stevia has been proven to be an effective dietary supplement, sugar
replacement, and health and beauty aid. It is thought that because
Stevia has so many benefits, that there will be a huge explosion of
it’s sale and use if it was approved as a food additive in the
U.S. and Canada as it has been in India, Japan, Korea, and China.
Until that time, it is best to be cautious and consult a health care
professional if you desire to use Stevia in large doses or over an
extended period.
