Stevia: Holy Grail in the fight against sugar (Dutch video)

Stevia is the latest alternative to sugar. Products with stevia retain their sweet taste, but contain up to 30 percent less sugar. Soda Giants add stevia to all their drinks. Coca-Cola recently introduced a version sweetened with stevia: Coca-Cola Life. Also Sprite is now sweetened with the natural sweetener. Before,  Coca-Cola did not want to add Stevia to its unique recipe. The new model has been given a green label and will be tested at this time in Argentina. Coca-Cola Life contains half the calories than the regular version.

Be sure to take a look at the sugar to stevia conversion chart before you start on your journey. For most stevia recipes, just a simple conversion is enough, just replace the amount of sugar by the correct amount of stevia sweetener, and you're done!
