Is stevia a healthier option than sugar, and what are doctors recommending in the UAE?

Doctors in the UAE say stevia, a plant-based sweetener, can be a safer alternative to sugar and some artificial sweeteners, especially given that diabetes affects around 20.7% of adults. Medics emphasize reducing overall sweetness in the diet rather than just opting for “sugar-free” products, encouraging residents to retrain their palate. Government policies, including a 50% excise tax on sugary products, have boosted low-sugar options and reformulations, helping people lower liquid-calorie intake and potentially improve glycemic control. What’s your view — would you switch to stevia, or stick to sugar in moderation?
