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?
All I know is I put that shit in my coffee and I love it.
I got enough problems without worrying about whether or not it’s any worse for me than inhaling car exhaust while going for a walk.
fair enough, i’ll try to get some leaves somewhere
