Stevia has been slowly killing me!?

About this video

Kane defends her daily stevia use against claims it is ‘slowly killing’ her. She distinguishes natural sweeteners from artificial ones, tests a tablespoon of stevia on herself, and says it did nothing to her blood sugar. She says she could find no research proving stevia spikes insulin, and points to her own insulin result of 7.3 and her husband’s lower result after years of daily stevia as personal evidence. Kane dismisses fertility concerns, describing the rat study she cites as using enormous, nutrition-free doses and failing replication, and says she found no evidence stevia harms the gut microbiome. She concedes stevia has no nutritional value, may trigger binge eating or stomach upset for some people, and should be dropped by anyone it affects negatively.

Key takeaways

• Kane says a tablespoon of stevia produced no change in her own blood sugar
• She says she found no studies proving stevia spikes insulin or impairs fertility or the gut microbiome
• Kane distinguishes stevia, honey, and maple syrup as natural sweeteners versus artificial sweeteners she avoids
• She acknowledges stevia triggers sweet cravings for roughly half the binge eaters she has worked with, in her experience
• Kane frames stevia mainly as a tool that makes drinks and the gym more enjoyable for her
