Or am I the only one who thinks that Stevia tastes horrible -- worse than any other artificial sweetener I've ever known?

- aidenn0 4y agoNo it takes awful to me as well.
- headmelted 4y agoI’ve never noticed an aftertaste. Anything with aspartame in it seems to make me immediately feel nauseous. Not sure if I’m an outlier here.
- colordrops 4y agoNo, I get that as well. It's subtle, but real.
- tejtm 4y agoStevia is just fine for me kind of sweet if you don't over do it, but I have known others with the same reaction as yours. I also like licorice, but cilantro barely tastes like anything to me a garnish with nothing to distinguish it from random yard clippings.
- klodolph 4y agoA percentage of people get a bitter taste from stevia. It depends on the person. I think that’s a big reason why it hasn’t replaced standards like sucralose.
- jansan 4y agoWhen Coca Cola released their Stevia sweetened "Coca Cola Life", I thought this was a great compromise between taste and calories. I drank quite a lot of that stuff, and suddenly, from one day to the other, the taste absolutely disgusted me. It just felt horribly artifical, and until today it sends a shiver down my spline just seeing those bottles in the supermarket. No idea what made my brain switch.
- tomerv 4y agoI hate it, it has a terrible aftertaste for me.
- notacoward 4y agoDefinitely not the only one. Stevia instantly and completely ruins the taste of anything it's in for me, so when I'm looking at energy or hydration drinks I always have to check the labels carefully. Gives me a bit more empathy for people with more serious allergies and sensitivities, I guess.
