Actual stevia is pretty nice. The "stevia" that mostly a maltodextrin blend is an abomination.

Doing some quick research and looks like the Sweetleaf brand is the most pure.

I like the soda. More flavor than flavored seltzer water.

I can’t taste stevia for some reason. So I’m inclined to disagree. As far as artificial sweeteners are concerned I’m on team blue.

Glycine is the best

Erythritol best by far
PETN with home depot chemicals
In a 600-mL beaker, add 400 mL of white nitric acid and cool to below 5°C in a salt-ice bath. White
nitric acid is made by adding a small amount of urea to fuming nitric acid then blowing dry air into the
acid until it is colorless. 100 g of finely ground pentaerythritol is slowly added to the acid while stirring,
keeping the temperature below 5°C. After all of the pentaerythritol has been added, the stirring and
cooling are continued for 15 minutes. The mixture is then dumped in about 3 L of ice water. The crude
product that should have formed is filtered to collect it, washed with water, and submerged in 1 L of hot
0.5% sodium carbonate solution for 1 hour. The crystals are again collected on a filter, washed with
water, and allowed to dry. These washings are important to remove all traces of acid. To obtain a pure
product, dissolve the crystals in hot acetone, allow to cool, then add an equal volume of water as you
have of acetone. Filter to collect the crystals, wash with water, and allow 24 hours to dry. You will need
a graduated cylinder for measuring liquids, a stirring rod or magnetic stirrer for mixing, and a
thermometer to monitor the temperature.

Literally all artificial sweeteners cannot solve the mouthfeel problem or the depth of flavor problem and this will never change

Stevia is literally the worst artificial sweetener because it has a stronger aftertaste than many others like sucralose or aspartame. Unfortunately it's in everything, because retards think that it's healthier. After all it must be better because it comes from >a fucking leaf. But in fact it's likely to be less safe than other artificial sweeteners, some of which have been around for 100 years, because it's relatively new and therefore less studied. Also it tastes like ass. Stop using stevia.
