Is stevia healthy?

Stevia is a natural and non-nutritive sweetener, meaning it doesn't contribute any calories. We consider it to be a neutral ingredient. It isn't necessarily "healthy", like fruits or vegetables for example, because there aren't health benefits to it. It's also not unhealthy, as there aren't any negative consequences of consuming it. Stevia is a popular alternative to artificial sweeteners like aspartame, saccharin, or sucralose, as well as regular sugar.
