My parents texted me about this "zevia" soda shit that's sweetened with stevia extract which is supposedly 0 calories, thus healthy. but knowing other "diet" sodas that doesn't mean its good for you, and i can't find any studies on the effects of it and i'm super confused. apparently indigenous people would use the whole leaf as a sweetener, but the extract may be different? is it a fruit juice situation, where removing the rest of the leaf removes all of the healthy shit? does anybody know?
no idea how a zero calorie sweetener can taste worse then aspartame but somehow it pulls it off
I've tried a lot of the "natural" zero calorie sweeteners and none of them are great. Monk fruit is okay i guess?
actually yes. expensive but tastes like a good simple syrup
