Yes: One study demonstrated that the microbial digestion of Stevia produces a series of compounds called diterpinoids. These compounds demonstrated a strong capacity to inhibit the reproduction of the Epstein-Barr Virus which is a DNA virus of the Herpes family of viruses.( Ebstein bar virus is also the name for mononucleosis)
