A member asked:
Who shouldnt have stevia in the raw for their coffee? like can it harm certain conditions/diseases? trying to stay away from actual sugar?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Kidney damage from stevia has been mentioned but I think one has to use massive amounts daily to be concerned. I haven't heard of idiosyncratic reactions to stevia though. Millions of us worldwide use stevia daily without incident allowing us to avoid spikes jn blood sugar which can occur using 2 or 3 teaspoons or more of sugar for our coffee or tea.
