I had severe hot flashes & mouth ulcers from stevia. It is a plant, so a person can be allergic to stevia just like any plant material, and especially if you’re allergic to ragweed, or have hay fever. Your immune system interprets the ragweed and stevia proteins as like compounds and responds with allergic-type symptoms. Many people may not realize, but stevia also can be highly processed & even bleached. The stevia industry is not so willing to put that out there.
As a side note, if you have ragweed allergies (hayfever) it is possible to have a cross sensitivity with sunflower seeds, melon, zucchini and chamomile. So some experts recommend that people with known allergens within this family avoid consuming stevia.
I’ve had people high up in the stevia industry challenge my experience with & about stevia in order to protect their niche in the industry of natural sweeteners, by saying it’s totally safe. But it may not be for all people. It’s unfortunate it’s touted to be THE natural sweetener for ALL people.
Well, my question was about honey but seems got off track.
Below is a great article about this.
