Stevia
top 10 banned foods around the world
Commonly known as sweet leaf or sugar leaf, Stevia is a plant based sweetener banned in America, European Union, Singapore and Hong Kong. It was banned on the belief that it was an "unsafe food additive". Stevia is believed to have positive health effects like weight loss and lowered blood sugar levels. The ban on Stevia was later removed under the provision that it would be labeled a dietery supplement instead of a food additive. It is also said to apparently cause cancer but was failed to be backed with scientific evidence.
