You guys may not be aware yet, but a new all natural sweetener should be available by the end of the year. The sweetener is an herb called stevia, which is grown in Paraguay. It has been used to sweeten coffee and teas in Japan for decades but is just now getting approved in the U.S. A company called Sweetleaf sells stevia as a tabletop sweetener and Coke is planning on making a soda with stevia as the sweetener of choice.

It's nice to have an all natural sweetener as another choice but I just can't ever imagine drinking anything but my same old diet soda!

You can check out the Sweetleaf sweetener here.

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend and drank lots of diet soda, I know I did!
