Note that Stevia is a problem for people who have had kidney stones. It contains high amounts of Oxalate, which is the chemical that is at the core of the most common form of kidney stone.
Spinach and Almonds also contain a lot of Oxalate.
Ask me how I know.
- Dylan16807 5y agoIf basic search results can be believed: A 100 gram serving of spinach has 645mg of oxalate. A one ounce serving of almonds has 122. Replacing an ounce of sugar with stevia gives you 6mg. Stevia is high in oxalate per gram, but it's hundreds of times sweeter than sugar. How low do you need to go? I see one site recommending staying under 200mg of oxalate per day.
- bradknowles 5y agoI target 0mg of Oxalate whenever possible, because I know that there are many hidden sources of Oxalate that I cannot reasonably detect or prevent.
