I thought I had finally found a healthy drink I liked with no artificial sweetness and they had to go and fuck it up

        Yeah Stevia tastes like poison to me, super bitter.

        Basically all artificial sweeteners taste like either bitter or nothing at all to me. So I’m really angry when I buy a product I’ve been buying for years and it suddenly tastes like a Nintendo Switch cartridge.

        >:(

        I have yet to find a low calorie sweetener that doesn’t bother my digestive system. My wife, who lives on diet Pepsi, doesn’t believe me.

        You’re thinking of xylitol which gets mixed with commercial stevia crystals to cut the sweetness

      Have we applied the same scrutiny to HFCS or refined Sugar itself? Or does sugar get a pass because it was the first plant processed for its sweetness?
