I personally do not want to promote anything that Coke or Pepsi puts out. But I have found a good use for sugar. Google Water Kefir (Tibicos) and give that a try. It is probiotic, carbonated, and good for you. Mine taste like lemonade because I use the simplest method out there. Water, Sugar, Lemon, some fruit, and the Water Kefir grains. Yummy. For my teas and anything else, I do use Stevia. I started out with the Stevita brand, but now, there are so many out there, it’s great. I just look for the cheapest price. Besides, if it’s been used all over the world and Japan has been using it like, forever, even in their chewing gum, and no side effects, how much more testing can we do?
Happy Healthy New Year.

@ Carol

Like everything else, if you’re not used to powdered Stevia, you won’t like it. Consider giving it another shot. Maybe you can learn to like it. Remember that you only need a tiny–TINY–bit to sweeten your drinks. It’s sweeter than sugar and adding too much will make it taste grassy. Once you get used to it, you’ll be able to tolerate more.

I’d also like to add that Stevia is a natural herb that’s a lot of fun to grow while aspertame is a chemical made in a lab somewhere. Which do you think is healthier??

I just bought Truvia this week in a regular grocery store (not an organic grocery store) a box and have been using it in my foods and drinks. I notice that it looks like regular sugar and comes darn near close to the taste, better than Splenda. I also notice when I mix a pack or two in my drinks, I have to wait a minute or two for the crystals to dissolve. They will fall to the bottom of the glass and I keep stirring quite a while for they are all dissolved. I never had to worry this with the blue, pink and yellow sweetners. They dissolve instantly. I just relate Truvia with natural sugar and sugar has to be stirred and stirred in cold tea before every dissolving, too. I am going to stay with this for I do like the taste very much.

This has been an answer to my prayers. I love Coke and I refuse to have sugar. I don’t need the calories and I don’t need the possibility of diabetis. I don’t want any artificial sweetners in my body. I carry stevia with me and put it in Tea’s from Starbucks or latte’s. I use it to make ice tea (celestial seasoning tea) at home. Now the possibility to be able to have a Coke how absolutely wonderful.

It is safe. It has been used for hundreds of years. The problem is the large corporations that use aspartame and would lose billions. Stevia is the safest sweetener they could use, but the FDA, don’t want the World to have anything healthy just like their current efforts to ban vitamins and natural supplements for big Pharma. They look out for the deadly “Eugenics” corporations now, not the consumer. If they use the correct part of the plant, the natural green leafy sweetener will benefit everyone who uses it. But since it is too healthy for everyone, they will likely try to modify by adding a deadly additive and/or synthetically manufacture it.

Could you imagine all those diet soda drinkers going into withdrawls and then feeling better after stopping the use of Aspartame? Breaking an unknown addiction to a deadly sweetener. That wouldn’t be good for the diet soda companies.

The only reason they have not approved it is because it would put a MAJOR kink in the chain of the Rockefeller population reduction plan.
