Stevia Toxicity Posted: 08-22-07 13:49pm


Hi everyone, I have read nothing but good things about stevia. One health food store I go to, the owner has a master's in plant science and he sells ground stevia leaf. However I just talked to a friend who told me the LD50 tests for stevia were bad. I guess what that means is it was fed to a bunch of rats and a lot of them died. He didnt' have more details but was pretty adamant about it. Does anyone have any information about this? Where can I find studies like that? Info isn't easy to find online. I should note this guy is very intelligent but he also thinks that Splenda is perfectly fine and doesn't think chlorine hurts anyone. After he left I googled it again just to reassure myself and found the plethora of information how Splenda can be dangerous. Thanks!

Yeah. I think he probably mistook Stevia for Splenda.
