Does stevia cause cancer?
To cut down on sugar in my coffee and desserts, I've switched to Stevia. But my colleague recently told me he heard some artificial sweeteners might cause cancer. Does Stevia specifically have any link to causing cancer?

I completely understand why you are worried. Hearing these rumors about sweeteners can be so scary, especially when we are trying to eat healthy. It is so hard to know what to trust online.

My oncologist colleague confirmed that major health organizations like the WHO and FDA have thoroughly reviewed stevia and found no link to cancer. It is considered safe for consumption as long as you stick to pure extracts.

Don't worry, there is no scientific proof that stevia causes cancer. It is just internet sensationalism. Use it in normal quantities and stay relaxed, you are absolutely fine.

I have used stevia leaves for years as a natural alternative to sugar. It is a plant, not a chemical like older artificial sweeteners. Just use it in moderation and focus on a healthy overall lifestyle.

No yaar, this is just a myth. Actually, stevia is a plant-based natural sweetener and has been cleared by global medical boards. Don't stress about these random Whatsapp forwards.

I use stevia to manage my insulin levels for PCOS. From all the safety reports I have checked, it is safe and does not cause cancer. However, it's always good to check with your own dietitian if you feel unsure.
