🌿 Stevia: Nature’s Sweet Leaf, Not “Fake Sugar”
• Origin: Stevia comes from the leaves of the Stevia rebaudiana plant, a shrub native to Paraguay and Brazil.
• Sweet Compounds: Its sweetness comes from steviol glycosides, natural compounds that can be 200–300 times sweeter than table sugar.
• Processing: To make it usable in food, the sweet compounds are extracted and purified, similar to how sugar is extracted from sugarcane or beetroot.
• Not Bacteria: Contrary to popular belief, stevia is not produced from bacteria—it’s derived directly from plant leaves.
• Health Benefits: Studies show stevia does not raise blood sugar and may even help with glucose regulation, making it safer for diabetics than refined sugar.
• Balance Matters: Whether you choose honey, raw sugar, or stevia, the key is moderation. Overuse of any sweetener can affect metabolic health.

📌 The History of Soda: Quick Facts
• 1767 – Joseph Priestley discovers how to make carbonated water by infusing water with carbon dioxide.
• Early sodas (1700s–1800s) were flavored with natural herbs, roots, and fruits, often sold as health tonics:
• Ginger root → Ginger ale
• Sassafras & sarsaparilla → Root beer
• Kola nut + coca leaf → Early cola drinks
• Pharmacy soda fountains (1800s) became popular places to enjoy carbonated herbal drinks.
• Coca-Cola (1886) was invented as a “nerve tonic,” originally containing coca leaf extract and kola nut.
• Pepsi (1893) started as a digestive aid with kola nut and natural spices.
• Shift in the 1900s: Natural herbs and fruit syrups were replaced with:
• Refined sugar / high-fructose corn syrup
• Artificial flavors and preservatives
• Today’s sodas are mostly artificial recreations of those original herbal tonics.
