Is stevia safe and healthy for human consumption

Sanjana Parida and Deoraj Sharma

Replacing sucrose with non-caloric sweeteners is a technique to keep away obese and diabetes development. Non-caloric sweeteners are categorised into both synthetic as ‘Sucralose’ or herbal as ‘Stevia’. Both of them had been accepted with the aid of using FDA, however the outcomes in their persistent intake are controversial. The present aimed to assess the outcomes of those sweeteners, in male and woman albino mice, on different blood biochemical parameters and immunological parameters after eight and sixteen weeks of sweeteners management. Approximately, 40.5 mg/ml of sucrose, 5.2 mg/ml of sucralose and 4.2 mg/ml of stevia have been dissolved in distilled water. Mice have been administrated with the aid of using sweetener`s solution for 5 h daily. Male and woman mice confirmed a choice for water intake with sucralose or stevia. Both of the 2 sweeteners drastically decreased the haemoglobin degree, HCT%, RBCs and WBCs count. After 18 weeks, massive elevations in liver and kidney feature enzymes have been found in male and woman mice administrated with each non-caloric sweetener. Histopathological exam in sucralose and stevia administrated organizations showed the biochemical results; in which it discovered an excessive harm in liver and kidney sections. While, sucrose management elevated, only, the tiers of ALT, AST and cholesterol in male mice. A lively elevation in tiers of various immunoglobulin (IgG, IgE and IgA) and proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and IL-8), that turned into followed with the aid of using a massive deduction in degree of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10, found in male and woman mice organizations administrated with sucralose or stevia. On the alternative hand, sucrose management brought about an elevation in IgA and deduction in IL-10.
