Soda: No calories, no aspartame, no sucralose
Stevia has been around a long time. I’ve had it growing in the garden, it grows like mint. A little bitter, but a really sweet edible leaf. And: no calories, an excellent alternative sweetner. I found out about it around 10 years ago. It’s cheap to grow, a natural product and a frightening concept for chemical-based sweetner companies.
And as of December 2008, the FDA has finally, provisionally approved a version of it for public consumption (with a trick in there to help Big Business, click on the provisionally link). It’s been a wait, but with choices of chemicals such as Aspartame or Sucralose – as a soda junky that’s avoiding HFCS and sugar – I’ve been waiting a long time.
Zevia is a soda line that contains Stevia. Don’t get me wrong, there is a ‘diet’ taste here – switching to stevia is not a direct flavor substitute for sugar. And Zevia takes this into account: their sodas have been formulated to taste extremely dry, which helps with the overall flavor.
So while Zevia’s natural cola is a tad bitter – I’m also not getting the headaches typically associated with acesulfamed and aspartamed Coke Zero. And that’s not bad. Can’t wait to see what hits the market next.
My wife would kill for those vintage glasses.
