Killer Coke Going Natural?
GOOD OR BAD?
TALK ABOUT IT IN OCA'S WEB FORUM
COCA-COLA AND CARGILL TO MARKET NATURAL SWEETENER
The beverage and food industries have sought the "perfect sweetener"
for decades. It's no secret that standard table sugar (sucrose) and
its even worse cousin, high-fructose corn syrup, rots teeth, leads to
obesity, and is a major contributor to diabetes. So chemical companies
have concocted an armada of synthetic sugar alternatives such as
saccharin and aspartame that have been linked to everything from
cancer to neurological disorders. Now Coca-Cola and Cargill have
announced they have "developed" the perfect natural sweetener. The
sweetener is stevia, a zero calorie plant-based sweetener that has
been used for hundreds of years. In Japan, 40% of the sweeteners
consumed are from stevia, so it can't really be called a "new"
sweetener. But here in the U.S., likely due to lobbying of the FDA by
synthetic sweetener producers, stevia has been hidden in the shadows
by strange labeling requirements that keep the average consumer from
even understanding what stevia can be used for. Coca-Cola and Cargill
plan to bring a patented version of stevia to the mainstream as the
perfect natural sweetener by removing some of the bitter aftertaste.
