Stevia can’t cause weight gain by itself since it has zero calories. In fact, stevia is well known to help people lose weight by reducing appetite.

Yes, stevia can lower blood pressure in persons with elevated blood pressure by up to 14% ( 23). People who have normal blood pressure won’t see an effect from stevia.Is stevia cancerous?

Since then, several other studies have been conducted and have yet to prove a definitive link between stevia consumption and cancer.
