Switching to Stevia in my Coffee
I’m switching to Stevia
To replace the sugar in my coffee
Is it safe ?
Is Stevia Healthy?
Yes, purified stevia extract is generally considered a healthy, zero-calorie sugar substitute, safe for most people, including diabetics, and may offer benefits like blood sugar and blood pressure control, but check labels for added sugars/fillers, as whole leaves or crude extracts aren't FDA-approved, and gut health effects need more research.
Potential Benefits
Blood Sugar Control: May help manage blood sugar, making it a good option for diabetics.
Weight Management: Zero calories, aiding in reducing sugar and calorie intake.
Blood Pressure: Some evidence suggests it can help lower blood pressure.
Antioxidant/Anti-inflammatory: Contains compounds with antioxidant properties and may fight inflammation.
Dental Health: May help prevent dental cavities.

But the most important question is how different does it taste?
It tastes Just like sugar. I’m impressed
Then I should maybe give it a try. You also do need to use less, is that correct?
Yes … like a 1/4 Teaspoon replaces a Table spoon of brown sugar.
I need to cut out all sugar, meat and alcohol since I now have Gout.
Ouch, speedy recovery!
It’s slow going since I love Beer, Steak, Lobster and Red Wine.
The worst things for Gout
I also would definitly miss steak and beer.
Are you allowed to eat/drink it or is it more or less forbidden?
I can eat and drink whatever I want … but I will have a gout attack if I drink beer, Wine and eat any meat, seafood, sugar etc etc … I have colchicine pills to take when I have an attack. But it’s very expensive medicine
So it’s better for me to not drink or eat those things ….
