Folks Online Can’t Believe That People Actually Enjoy These 30 Foods And Drinks

What is the fun in not being able to taste anything but heat. Then suffering butt heat.

Even in the smallest amounts it makes me retch. And that aftertaste lingers for what seems like forever.

I've drank stevia sweetened tea and it was glorious

Monk fruit isn't perfect but it's the best I've found if you can't have sugar.

I've been using Truvia for ages and it tastes just like sugar to me. Never had a problem.

Stevie gives me the runs, can't understand how anyone can go near it.

I thought I was the only one NOT on the Stevia bandwagon. Whew!

I hate it so much. Thank you for pointing it out. I can tell when even a small amount is in the product and then I can’t finish it.

And your gut bacteria, which have been evolving to digest sugars (in reasonable amounts) for millions of years, REALLY don't like it.

It does have a wonky aftertaste, but I feel it's safer than other mock sugars that turn to formaldehyde in your liver. Personally I drink black coffee anyways.

I don't get an aftertaste at all. But I don' eat it by itself.

I’ve never noticed an aftertaste.

What aftertaste? It's the only sweetener/sugar I can have that doesn't give me migraines.

This must be one of those some people taste it, some don't things. Stevia has no aftertaste to me. It's one of the few sugar alternatives that don't taste disgusting.

There is not after taste to stevia lol. At least not to me.....

I imagine it's like cilantro--that tastes like soapy garbage to me but lots of people don't taste that. I like stevia better than sugar and I can't detect an aftertaste.

I actually like it a lot.

I've used stevia for years - from the kind with additives (such as Truvia and Pyure) to what I use now which is pure stevia powder - and the only time I've ever gotten a hint of the bitterness others complain about was when I used too much of the pure stevia powder in my coffee. Either those people who suffer from an aftertaste are using far too much stevia or there's a genetic link to the issue.

I don’t think people switch to this thinking “this taste so much better!” It’s always rough at first. Once you get used to it though the after taste goes away. I used to be on a diet that used it and I couldn’t stand it at first but the aftertaste went away after about a week or two.

If you are looking for a sugar alternative that tastes as close to cane sugar as possible but low on the glycemic index try Swerve brand. I used it when I was trying a low carb diet, because it's an alcohol sugar and those didn't count toward cards because they are digested differently. It's a bit expensive as far as sugars go and a bit hard to find but the measurements are almost 1:1 with cane sugar, it's made from fruits, and it really does taste like normal sugar. My only real gripe about it would be that it made my tea look cloudy and less appealing.

The truvia baking blend which is half sugar, isn't noticeable in baked goods.

In tea it's ok. In coffee not so much

I love Stevia and taste no aftertaste at all.

Ok for teas but destroys a good espresso. The üure öiofilized leaves can be added to chrap young avidic wines with dome vare ..

I'm okay with Stevia in small amounts. I prefer other non-sugar sweeteners, but they all have a weird taste. Diabetes sucks, so you do what you can do.

Diabetes runs in the family. I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic many years ago, and yet, I refuse to use any form of artificial sweetener. I eat sugar products, but in small, regulated portions.

And some people enjoy vegemite.

It’s horrible. Just give me raw honey or sugar

Meh it's ok, at least it works. It makes my tea sweet unlike sugar that doesn't do anything

Couldn't agree more - all these sugar substitutes are disgusting, except a little drop of sweetener in coffee. I've tried baking with stevia, eritriol and others and the results were all revolting (and expensive!). I use panela (minimally processed brown sugar) now.

I rarely eat sweet things and have a jar of Stevia I uses once in a blue moon for sweetening. I can't say I noticed any aftertaste though. Then I am no judge of sugar. :+{

Fresh stevia leaves in iced tea is awesome

This is all artificial sweeteners for me.

oh weird - so I have always hated artificial sweeteners. The chemical taste of saccharin and aspartame particularly makes my mouth really dry and I can't get rid of the aftertaste. I've spent a lifetime avoiding them at all costs. When I discovered something with Stevia in it by accident a few years back my mind was blown! I can tell the difference between Stevia and sugar but Stevia doesn't taste bad at all to me. I don't have too much of it because it makes you need the loo a bit more and I don't buy it to put in drinks or anything specifically, but I do buy food that contains it on purpose.

I get a near instantaneous stomach ache from all types of sugar substitutes

It just doesn't really do what it is supposed to do. It isn't a sugar substitute because it totally ruins whatever it is in.

Meh, I honestly have no trouble with it. No aftertaste for me!

Never had an issue with it having an aftertaste or tasting bad.

The thing with any alternative sweetener is that you just have to give yourself time to get used to it. I HATED any drinks that were sweetened with anything other than sugar but I found coke zero to be the least offensive so I stuck with it. It now tastes pretty much like regular coke to me and I can no longer drink regular coke because it's too sweet and tastes bad to me now.

Is it Just me, but does Yoghurt taste like spoiled milk ?

My husband uses Stevia. None of the fake sweeteners taste GOOD, but he's diabetic and he likes his tea and coffee sweet.

I use Stevia in my coffee everyday and it has no weird aftertaste. I have tasted a weird aftertaste with other artificial sweeteners, but never with Stevia. I didn't know this was a thing.

All none sugar sweeteners give me a migraine and make me nauseous

Make my headaches spike if I have anything with fake sugar in it. No good.
