Love that headline because it makes complete sense. I drank Coke as a kid -- and other sodas too but Coke was certainly my fave! I later switched to diet Coke in my teens so that I could lose weight. Nowadays, I do not drink beverages that contain artifical sweetners or HFCS or sugar. I really like the recipes for flavoring water that you have in the linked article!
I wonder why the Coca-Cola Company does not use its own Truvia as a sweetener in their low and zero calorie beverages???
BTW the headline I refer to is "Soda is contraindicated for weight loss!!!" It seems to have been excluded from my comment.
Good question! I will ask @CocaColaCo on Twitter about using Truvia in their sodas. Thta said, I still do not recommend soda as part of a healthy diet. Nor have I researched Truvia to learn about its safety profile. I do know that it is not pure stevia, so that immediately raises concern for me.
