Tonight's "science experiment" LOL

Not so fast.
Stur brand water enhancer uses Stevia and fruit juice.
Then there is Stir brand sweetener, which also uses Stevia.
Not all Stevia is equal (no pun intended).
Research is showing Stevia is a diuretic and can cause dehydration and kidney problems. It has also shown it can interfere with metabolism and certain medications.

I've been using Stur for years, never had any issues at all. One squirt equals 1g of carbs. Made from Natural Stevia leaf extract. I have kidney desease and my kidneys have not decreased in function for years. My kidney desease started before I found stevia. My kidney specialist tells me that my kidneys are just fine but have lost function with age. Not eating "sugar" is actually good for your kidneys so if stevia helps keep sugar intake "down" then my kidneys will benefit. You have to pick your poison!!!!!
