There are no steroids in stevia. It's molecular structure is similar to that of a steroid. The jury is still out as to whether it acts like a steroid in any way. So far, there don't seem to be much in the way of negative effects from stevia, but it has not been sufficiently tested yet by US standards to have been approved as a food additive, particularly with regard to pregnant and lactating women.
