Zero calorie sweetener linked to heart attack and stroke, study finds | CNN
A sugar replacement used in many stevia, monk-fruit, keto and other reduced-sugar products marketed for weight loss and diabetes has been linked to stroke, heart attack and early death, a new study found.
I only use pure stevia for general consumption (coffee, lemon water) but for baking I use coconut sugar. I think you will find some of your answers in this article by Dr. Axe..

Monk fruit is great too if you can find it in pure form - you use so much less in recipes than traditional sweeteners. It’s so expensive (because it’s potent) and most product you can buy now has been cut with erythritol. :( I discovered monk fruit years ago because of its zero glycemic index and it was easy to find in pure form back then but not anymore.
I literally just bought my first bag of monk fruit in the raw and discovered it had erythritol in it and 2 days later this comes out. I doubt it’s a cover for vax injuries but who knows. I may try the straight monk fruit w/o additive now.
Well the liquid stevia has really jumped in price but at a couple drops per serving it lasts awhile. Yeah, I like low glycemic items too...not really into overly sweet stuff...
