Soviel also zur (grundsätzlichen) Problematik 'Extrakt ist nicht gleich Extrakt':

EFFECTIVENESS OF STEVIA REBAUDIANA WHOLE LEAF EXTRACT AGAINST THE VARIOUS MORPHOLOGICAL FORMS OF BORRELIA BURGDORFERI IN VITRO

Different Stevia extracts manufactured by Nutramedix ® , Now ® , Sweet leaf ® , and Truvia ® were purchased from health food stores in the USA and were labeled randomly as Stevia A, B, C, and D. The extracts A, B, and C were formulated by standard alcohol extraction method whereas extract D was purchased in a powder form dissolved in distilled water.

[S. 3]

Our results showed that Stevia A, Stevia B, and Stevia C alcohol extracted agents had significant effects on the viability of Borrelia cells, but Stevia D, powdered form, and Stevioside did not show any significant effect on both the log phase and the stationary phase cells.

[S. 5]


Wenn man sich die ganze Studie durchliest, hatte sich "Stevia A" wohl als am wirksamsten erwiesen - Tja, jetzt wäre es schon recht praktisch, zu wissen, welches dieses war, bevor man halt 'blöderweise' einen unwirksamen Extrakt (umsonst) einnimmt.

EDIT: Ich habe Frau Dr. Sapi mal per Mail vor diesem Hintergrund gefragt, um welches Mittel es sich bei "Stevia A" handelt.
