In This Episode:
You may have heard of the popular natural non-caloric sweetener stevia. But is it healthy or may it contribute to infertility and chronic inflammation?
For years, Stevia has been marketed as the “natural” sweetener that won’t spike your blood sugar. In this episode, I will go over the surprising research showing that while Stevia may help most people lower insulin and improve blood vessel health, it isn’t risk-free for everyone.
The Infertility Controversy
Some tribes traditionally used high doses of Stevia tea to reduce fertility. Add to that a few animal studies linking massive Stevia intake to infertility, and you get decades of confusion.
Dr. Jockers breaks down what the science really says—and why most of the fear may be misplaced.
Could Stevia Be Harming You?
Here’s the twist: for those with ragweed allergies or sensitivities, Stevia can trigger inflammation, hormonal disruption, and possibly fertility issues. For most people, it’s a safe sweetener with unique benefits—but your personal reaction is the ultimate test.
