What is the Acceptable Daily Intake or ADI?
The acceptable daily intake or ADI is a scientific term that basically as a guidepost for scientist to review how much any food ingredient including stevia can be used by consumers on a daily basis.

What does this mean for stevia?
Safety studies are looking for something called the ADI (acceptable daily intake), they also look at the things they called the sort of the tolerable upper limit, in other words, how high can you go in your consumption before something that is unhealthy and unwanted could happen. At what point are this ingredients become toxic? So all that is to say all the research are already been done and many regulatory body across the world from JECFA (Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on food additives), Europian Union to the US Food and Drug Administration to the UK Food Standards Agency. Many bodies country by country had reviewed all these safety studies to determine that Stevia is safe. They take even one step further and they say let’s look at this different specific Steviol Glycosides and see how they behave in different types of food and beverages. So we wanna know if I take this Steviol Glycosides and put it into dairy, is it still safe? Let’s make sure that is no interaction with the dairy or something going on that cause it to suddenly be unsafe.

All that homework and all that do diligence done by toxicologist and nutritionist and another academic type of researchers has been done and therefore we can feel confident that stevia absolutely is safe.

So how much stevia can I eat?
The threshold is actually very high – in something that I don’t think any human can possibly accomplish it. A 40 milligrams per kilograms let us say if a 150lbs person can have 40 packets every single day of their life..there’s a lot of stevias. But there is nothing wrong if you ever achieve that but that is the threshold.
