Healthy afternoon,
Using stevia as a sugar substitute can reduce calories in foods and drink, but may also have some adverse effects. Some side effects int, nausea, bloating, low blood pressure and hormone disruption. Stevia is a non- nutritive or zero calorie sweetener made of steviol glycosides.
You can use jaggery, honey instead of stevia or refined sugar.
