IMO it really should not be called "organic."

Peanut butter is my favorite but fudge is good too. Vanilla and iced coffee I didn't like. I picked orgain because of the Stevia. Stevia is the low calorie sweetener most dieticians recommend because it's herbal rather than artificial. I don't love the flavor, but I chug down shakes when I don't have time for breakfast. It helped me lose a little weight.

"Does stevia affect liver?
Histopathological examination in sucralose and stevia administrated groups confirmed the biochemical results; where it revealed a severe damage in liver and kidney sections."
"stevia was banned in the U.S. due to early studies that suggested the sweetener may cause cancer."
"stevia may harm your kidneys, reproductive system, and cardiovascular system"

IMO for anything containing it to be called "organic" is outrageous!
From something more recent. Note stevioside is not present in formulations of stevia:
Though stevia is most likely as safe as artificial sweeteners (or more so), few long-term studies have been done to document its health effects in humans. A review conducted by toxicologists at UCLA, which was commissioned by nutrition advocate Center for Science in the Public Interest (Kobylewski & Eckhert, 2008), raised concerns that stevia could contribute to cancer. The authors noted that in some test tube and animal studies, stevioside (but not rebaudioside A) caused genetic mutations, chromosome damage and DNA breakage. These changes presumably could contribute to malignancy, though no one has actually studied if these compounds cause cancer in animal models. Notably, initial concerns that stevia may reduce fertility or worsen diabetes seem to have been put to rest after a few good studies showed no negative outcomes. In fact, one study of human subjects showed that treatment with stevia may improve glucose tolerance. Another found that stevia may induce the pancreas to release insulin, thus potentially serving as a treatment for type 2 diabetes. (These studies are reviewed in Goyal, Samsher and Goyal, 2010.) After artificial sweeteners were banned in Japan more than 40 years ago, the Japanese began to sweeten their foods with stevia. And while they have conducted more than 40,000 clinical studies on stevia and concluded that it is safe for human use, there is a general lack of long-term studies on stevia's use and effects.
Reb A, listed as an ingredient on this product
"Rebaudioside A (also called rebiana), one of the chemicals in stevia, is approved as a food sweetener."

From what I've read, Stevia is safe in regular quantities. I've used Truvia (which is actually more erythritol than Stevia) for years before moving to pure Stevia (Pyure powder).
I feel this is a safe approach to avoid sugar. Am I wrong?
