Pour ce qui est de l'effet des édulcorants sur la testostérone: j'avais lu un article ou une études sur des rats avait examiné les effets de la stévia sur la production de testostérone et avait conclu ceci:
" A molecule in stevia known as dihydroisosteviol has once shown antiandrogenic action by interfering with the effects of testosterone injections in a chick comb (at 3mg) without significantly affecting the ability of testoterone to influence testicular function. Stevioside may also displace DHT from the androgen receptor (conference presentation cited via here) at concentrations ot 7-15µM, which has been argued that it may not be practically relevant as even oral doses of very high (6.7g/kg in rats) for 60 days failed to alter androgen binding in prostatic tissue.
When rats are fed stevia (about 6.7g/kg) daily for 60 days, testosterone can be reduced by approximately 40% (data derived from graph) with no influence on luteinizing hormone. "
