ot RE: [TheForge] Phosphoric acid in drinks

[Grover.Richardson at gtri.gatech.edu]

Greetings across the pond<G>.  Well we were there in 99, and I am
quoting the wife's rememberances on this.  Usually she is pretty good
with remembering things (she does this task for me as well), but
possible error.

My doctor prefers me to use Stevia, but it leaves an aftertaste that I
find unpleasant.

All the Best

I'm in the UK, don't drink Coke, but the missus does, so this
conversation made me curious.  Just before I read your Stevia messgage I
was surfing and found this:
http://www.letsgettogether.co.uk/DetailQuestionAnswer/QuestionId=511/

 Looks like all the (real) coke in the UK probably currently sucrose
based, I'd expect from sugar-beets, but maybe from cane.
 No idea about the Stevia, but it looks like a sugar substitute with 300
times the sweetness of sucrose.  See the Wikipedia entry, it talks about
the Coca-cola company developing a sweetener derived from it.
