has anyone had any negative side effects from pure stevia? I've been using it about 4 years now but the past year have been having a really bad dry mouth. Anyone else experience this? Can't figure out what else it would be from!

    Stop taking it, and see if it helps. If it does, then possibly try reintroducing it slowly, or try using a different brand.

    I generally use it in the morning when I have coffee but I will have to train myself to drink coffee without it! Thanks :)

    Are you sure you are really using "pure" stevia? Most stevia products sold in grocery stores contain fillers like maltodextrin or dextrose. For example "Stevia in the Raw" uses dextrose as a filler. Dextrose is made from corn... corn that could be genetically modified. If your'e eating a lot of dextrose you could be exposing yourself to a lot of different chemicals used for growing genetically modified corn.
