Abstract

Çeşitli yiyecek ve içeceklerde kullanılan şekere alternatif olarak, çoğu ülkede oldukça popülerdir. Stevia dünyanın birçok yerinde tatlandırıcı olarak kullanılmaktadır. Steviarebaudiana Bertoni, doğal tatlandırıcı özelliğini steviol glikozit kaynağından alan Asteraceae familyasına ait dallı bir bitkidir. Son zamanlarda, stevianın potansiyel kullanımlarını keşfetmeye yönelik ilgi artmıştır ve çeşitli çalışmalar, stevianın biyokimyasal bileşiminin sağlık üzerine yararlarının olduğunu bildirmektedir. Hayvanlarda ve insanlarda yapılan çeşitli çalışmalarda bu bitkinin güvenli olup olmadığı henüz belirlenememiştir. Gebelik sırasında fazla ağırlık kazanımını engellemek amacıyla için birçok kadın, kalorisiz tatlandırıcılar içeren yiyecek ve içecekleri tüketmeyi tercih etmektedir. Literatürde gebelikte besin değeri olmayan tatlandırıcıların tüketimi için belirli bir kılavuz bulunmamaktadır. Bununla birlikte, klinik etkinliği ve kullanımı hala tartışma konusudur. Bu nedenle, gebelerde stevia kullanımının güvenlik, sağlık yararları ve fizyolojik mekanizmaları hakkında ayrıntılı bilgi sağlamak gerekmektedir. Güncel kanıta dayalı beslenme kılavuzlarından haberdar olmak ve tüketicileri besin değeri olmayan tatlandırıcıların kullanımıyla ilişkili potansiyel riskler konusunda bilgilendirmek sağlık profesyonellerinin görevidir. Sağlık profesyonellerinin stevia kullanımlarını önermeden önce gebelere besin değeri olmayan tatlandırıcılar kullanımının genel bireysel faydalarını ve risklerini değerlendirmeleri, besin değeri olmayan tatlandırıcıların fetüs için güvenli olup olmadığını ve gebelik sırasında kullanmaya devam edip edemeyecekleri konusunda bilgi sağlamaları gereklidir. Bu derlemede gebelikte kalorisiz tatlandırıcılardan popüler hale gelen stevia kullanımına ilişkin mevcut kanıtlar gözden geçirilecektir.

USE OF STEVIA IN PREGNANCY

Abstract

As an alternative to sugar used in a variety of foods and beverages, stevia is extremely popular in most countries. It is used as a sweetener in many parts of the world.Stevia rebaudianaBertoni is a branched plant belonging to the Asteraceae family, which derives its natural sweetener from the steviol glycoside source. The interest in exploring the potential uses of stevia has recently increased, and several studies report that the biochemical composition of stevia has benefits for health.The safety of this herb has not yet been proved in various studies on animals and humans. In order to prevent excess weight gain during pregnancy, many women prefer to consume foods and drinks that contain non-calorie sweeteners.In literature, there is no specific guideline for the consumption of non-nutritional sweeteners during pregnancy. However, its clinical efficacy and use is still a matter of debate. Therefore, it is necessary to provide detailed information about the safety, benefits, and physiological mechanisms of stevia use in pregnant women.It is the duty of health professionals to be aware of current evidence-based dietary guidelines, and to inform consumers about the potential risks associated with the use of non-nutritional sweeteners.Before recommending the use of stevia, healthcare professionals should evaluate the general individual benefits and risks of using non-nutritional sweeteners, and provide information on whether non-nutritional sweeteners are safe for the fetus and whether they can continue to use them during pregnancy.In this review, the current evidence on the use of stevia, which has become popular among non-calorie sweeteners in pregnancy, will be reviewed.
