      I’ve just let myself get used to it. Like with coffee or beer, it’s a bit of an acquired taste. I’d rather be drinking that than sugary beverages.

      I find the taste of it utterly revolting. it’s like a sweet imposter, and my mouth says, “no!” It tastes somewhat metallic to me. I prefer stevia. although I don’t normally use sweeteners in stuff like coffee or tea. I avoid soft drinks in general, preferring fruit juice if I drink something other than water or milk.

        Just don’t let beverage companies fool you. Fruit juice’s sugar content puts it closer to pop.

        With tea and coffee, I eschew sweeteners entirely. A well made coffee or tea is delicious without sweetening.

        I recently went on a keto diet, and my favorite non sugar sweetener is definitely erythritol plus monkfruit extract. I haven’t tried stevia but I’ve heard good things!
