The Truth About Stevia and Infertility

The Truth About Stevia and Infertility

Author: Dr. Jockers February 29, 2024 Duration: 19:35

Does stevia cause infertility? Dr. Jockers is doing an in-depth report on stevia and whether it's beneficial to your health. Spoiler alert: Dr. Jockers and his wife use stevia and have had four kids and so Dr. Jockers doesn't consider stevia to be a problem.

 

However, he is going over how people have come to question stevia and the links between the sweet sugar substitute and infertility. It all starts with a fascinating story of how the Mato-Grasso Indians in Paraguay first used stevia.

 

There's also an in-depth article that accompanies this episode that you can find in the link below. Join Dr. Jockers as he looks at all the evidence and clinical studies done on stevia and presents a well-informed opinion. Please join us.

 It also includes coconut oil and black pepper as its ingredients, which has been shown to improve the absorption of turmeric by 2000%! Plus, there's also organic ginger, rosemary, and cloves which synergize with the turmeric to help improve digestion and blood sugar.
