If you think that diet coke you drink is a healthier alternative think again, diet beverages are packed with deadly sugar alternatives like sucralose, aspartame, and acelfame-k. Studies prove that these artificial sweeteners cause health problems like depression, anxiety, headaches, chest pains, gastrointestinal problems, still births and decreased red blood cell count just to name a few, so say good bye to all of that artificial junk and let me introduce stevia. Stevia is a an herb which has leaves that are used as a sweetener, unlike everything else I've just mentioned it doesn't have any harmful side effects and can be up to 30 times sweeter than sugar. I came across Zevia a natural diet drink which is actually sweetened with stevia and I had to try it out for my self.
Im not exactly to fond of the way diet sodas taste but I know many people who are and this is a wonderful alternative if you don't want the calories but still want something sweet to drink.
I tried 5 flavors courtesy of Zevia and I liked the Dr. Zevia flavor the best. Since Zevia contains no sugar it's great for diabetics and people with sugar restricted diets. Here is the link to the Zevia site if you'd like to learn more about it. www.zevia.com
