Today, we’re going to talk about stevia and the problem with stevia. It’s very important to read the labels on the things you buy. Just because something might be keto-friendly does not mean it’s healthy. That can be the case with stevia on keto.
The problems with some brands of stevia sweetener:
• Stevia in the Raw—Maltodextrin (the highest type of sweetener on the glycemic index)
• Sweet Leaf—Inulin (can create bloating)
• Better Stevia—Organic cane alcohol
• Pyure Stevia—Organic stevia and natural flavors (Likely GMO ingredients)

| 2:00.0 | One little point about natural flavings is many times they will use |
| 2:04.7 | GMO ingredients so you want to make sure if it's a natural flavoring that's non-GMO. |
| 2:10.1 | But for the most part if you can just get Stevia by itself, it's going to be okay. |
