For several days, there is now the stevia sugar-Cola also at Real. Once there were now many years with Colas as harmful sweeteners like aspartame or saccharin, could you look forward to a cola with stevia. Only that's not one thing nor, as only 30% sugar were replaced. But perhaps tasted a cola with stevia glucosides (which are probably obtained chemically) just as another Coke with sweetener? Anyway, I could see a distinct chemical aftertaste that reminds inhabitants ittle on the Pepsi. Stevia from natural sources the stevia plant, there is probably not enough for the global coke production and would certainly be too expensive. But Minedestens Stevia is not refined like the white sugar for Süßungszwecke. Steviol glycosides are extracted with chemical methods from the leaves of the stevia plant and up to the sweetening power they have retained little of their vegetable origin. As long as the patent on Aspartame was still running, stevia was forbidden. Now it's allowed. Surely a coincidence! In the EU the use of untreated plant in foods illegality remains, for alleged "security concerns". Or that time there were not yet enough genetically engineered glucoside of Stevia?
Anyway, some artificial chemical Nachgeschamack can not be denied. Almost certainly not as harmful as Diet Coke or Coke Zero with aspartame. Therefore, only limited recommendable.
