Survey about the side effects you experienced:

Total Voters: 214
Loading ...As we also experienced by ourselves most readers couldn’t find any side effects of stevia (51%) or found positive effects(15%). So 66% voted positive for stevia. 10% are not sure, we think that they experienced side effects but cannot tell if they come from stevia. So this 10% cannot really be counted against stevia, but it is probably the worst case for you because you don’t know if you should use it. As 12% selected, that they didn’t try stevia so far, there are 14% left who say stevia is bad for the human body. The larger group of 10% experienced strong side effects. Unfortunately we didn’t get many comments on the type of side effects they found. So we cannot tell how accurate these votes are. Additionally 4% found little stevia side effects.

Survey about the taste of stevia:
Do you like the taste of stevia?
- Yep, it's awesome, even better than sugar! (36%, 74 Votes)
- I didn't try stevia yet. (28%, 57 Votes)
- I hardly taste any difference beetween stevia and other sweeteners. (27%, 55 Votes)
- I don't like the taste, so it's not for me! (9%, 21 Votes)
Total Voters: 207
Loading ...As expected, most people surfing our site (36% ) seem to really like the taste of the sweet plant. 27% couldn’t find any difference beetween the taste of stevia and sugar. That is a little surprising, as there definitely is a little difference in the aftertaste in our opinion. This just shows again, that people got different tastes, so there are also people who don’t like the sweat leaf (9%). Alltogether, stevia would probably do pretty good as a popular sweetener in our everyday life.
