Stevia is a sugar substitute used to reduce calorie intake, but some people report side effects such as nausea, bloating, and dizziness. It can also lower blood pressure and sugar levels, and those with ragweed allergy should avoid it.
Stevia is an alternative to sugar, and is often used in recipes and beverages that need a sweet taste without adding a lot of calories. While it is generally considered safe to use, some people have reported side effects, many of which have not been investigated or confirmed. For example, some reported side effects of Stevia include nausea, bloating, and gas. This product can also cause dizziness and muscle pain, according to some users of this sugar substitute. On the other hand, only a few specific Stevia side effects are known to have a negative effect on those with particular existing conditions, such as diabetes, low blood pressure, and ragweed allergy.
One of the most common side effects of Stevia is nausea. Of course, since most people don’t consume this sweetener on its own, it can be hard to tell if the nausea is coming from this ingredient or from the food it’s added to. On the other hand, some people also report excessive bloating after Stevia consumption, which is usually relieved by the accompanying gas. Although a minority of people have reported these Stevia side effects, it may be wise to try a small amount of the product first to prevent nausea and gas at work or school.
This sugar substitute is known to cause more than just problems with the intestinal tract. For example, some users get dizzy after consuming this product, while others may feel a bit numb. On the other hand, certain users feel more pain than numbness, as their muscles become sore after ingesting Stevia. Therefore, it may be a good idea to avoid using this product for the first time just before any physical activity.
Some Stevia side effects only tend to negatively affect those who already have certain conditions, as other people may not even notice a difference in their health. For example, some people have noticed a drop in blood pressure when using Stevia, which can be bad news for those who already suffer from low blood pressure. This is not the only thing this product can lower, as it can also lower blood sugar, in which case diabetics are often encouraged to monitor their levels carefully when using Stevia. Finally, those who are allergic to ragweed, daisies, and other plants in the Asteraceae/Compositae family may want to steer clear of Stevia as it is in the same plant family, and therefore may cause an allergic reaction.
