Stevia is believed to be among the healthiest non-sugar sweeteners primarily because it is derived from a common plant you can grow in your backyard.
Stevia is a non- nutritive sweetener (NNS) that has demonstrated beneficial effects on appetite and energy intake. A January 18 2024 clinical study of 28 participants published in Nutrients found no significant effects on our gut microbiome when consuming the natural sweetener Stevia (3).
The study showed a decrease in Akkermansia (gut lining) and an increase in Faecalibacterium. However, the only genus significantly different at 12 weeks was Butyricoccus, another gut-lining, butyrate-producing species (4). For people with gut lining/ intestinal disorders such as IBS and obesity, this may be cause for caution.
