Stevia and Pregnancy

Can you use Stevia while pregnant? I have had pregnant women ask me what is it and is it safe to consume and I don't know what to tell them. -Michele

Yes - it is a food and all foods in their whole form are not drugs. She may want to use molasses and honey and real maple syrup as these are sweet AND have nutrient a pregnant woman needs.

I've done a considerable amount of research regarding stevia herb. I recommend it to all my patients and am confident of the safety profile which has been documented over many generations of use. I have found no evidence in the literature about any contraindication involving stevia use and pregnancy. The only reference relating to fertility is one reference that it may reduce sperm motility in males, but this premise has not been substantiated nor cited in any other study. -Dr. Glenn Gero
