This must be a "seller" in the works, yes I use stevia every day now and have been for months and not finding any benefits yet. Not all brands are created equal. I have tried many and found one that is better tasting. If you have CD or UC you should tell us your story.. users dont come on here with a product to endorse, they tell their stories of their illness....

still wondering if you take more than the 4 mg/kg that WHO says is safe, will the mutegen/carcinogenic hazards kick in?

I think this stuff actually has a greater potential health risk than 2,4D. You needed to exceed 50 mg/kg of body weight to show adverse effects of that.
