Have recently come across a few articles stating that stevia has been linked to infertility (in rats).  Bogus claim?

One of the studies cited is from 1968. 

The other is from 1999 and shows decreased sex gland size in prepubescent male rats when consuming large amounts daily for 60 days. It did not show any issues to the females.

This right here explains why you shouldn't take medical advice from anything labeled "Paleo" or "mommy blog".
