Many people start the New Year resolving to improve their diets, and that often includes cutting down on sugar. But artificial sweeteners such as Splenda usher in a host of consumer complaints and concerns about whether or not such chemicals do more harm than good. Because my husband is diabetic, I have searched for alternatives to chemical sweeteners so that I can protect his health and provide delicious, nutritious food, including the occasional dessert, at the same time.
Then we discovered Zevia, a soft drink made with the naturally sweet herbal supplement known as Stevia. Perhaps you listened to the podcast Taste Test our family recorded when the four of us sat down to try Zevia for ourselves, comparing it to regular sodas.
Enter Zevia 2.0, a reformulated Zevia that promises to improve the flavor of this safe alternative to diet soda. Did it measure up? I sat down again with my husband Jim and our two sons Evan (22) and Ethan (18) to form an opinion. I hope you enjoy listening in on our conversation, this time edited to a more condensed seven minutes of discussion.
