Most stevia sweeteners in UK supermarkets contain approximately 99% erythritol and 1% stevia.
This means you're primarily consuming erythritol, not stevia. And your body processes them very differently.
Erythritol is made from corn starch and cannot be digested by your body, which is why many people experience bloating, gas, and digestive discomfort.
Recent studies have also raised questions about its cardiovascular effects.
If you've tried "stevia" and experienced digestive issues, you weren't actually experiencing pure stevia — you were reacting to the erythritol.
Let that sink in.
You're paying premium prices for a product labeled "stevia" that's over 99% something completely different.
