Putting in a splash of cranberry juice (and a good number of drops of #stevia extract) in the hot water I use to brew my #YerbaMate is a total #GameChanger.

Makes the drink much more enjoyable to my unrefined palate.

#phosh-osk-stub is now #stevia 🎹 . The rename wants to reflect that

- it's not just a stub
- typing should hopefully be "sweet"

(and it allows us to keep the "pos_" symbol prefix).

Thanks to @newbyte for the help in finding the name!

Die Wirkung von Süßstoffen auf den #Stoffwechsel und den #Appetit sind komplex. Während einige Studien auf eine Reizung des Belohnungssystems und damit verbundene Heißhungerattacken hinweisen, zeigt eine neue Studie, dass Süßstoffe nicht zwangsläufig den #Hunger steigern – und sogar helfen können, Blutzuckerwerte zu senken.

Wer #Süßstoffe gezielt einsetzt, im Rahmen einer ausgewogenen #Ernährung, kann profitieren.

Me, drinking #YerbaMate:

• Man, I should make some mate today!
• Ok, here I go, gonna measure the water temperature with my IR thermometer and pour it into my thermos the second it hits 150°F / 65°C
• Thermos is ready, now let's get some yerba into this mate
• First steep, leave it at an angle. This is gonna be so good!
• Ok, ready for the first draw
• Mmm... wow, very grassy. Let's add some #stevia...
• Ok, that's more drinkable, now XD
• Man, I feel great! So alert
• Ugh, that tastes horrible. Just needs a little more stevia...
• Finished the second thermos-full of hot water, time to wash out the gourd
• That was great! I should make some more tomorrow!

Honestly, I'm not sure I'll ever get used to the flavor. But there's some really zen about the process of making it, and it's way better caffeine/performance-wise than coffee, so 

In other news... manufacturers need to stop replacing sugar in foods with Stevia. It tastes awful and makes the food inedible for many people.

Yikes. I wish they used #Stevia more; I've always loved it as a sweetener. I really liked Coca Cola Life, which had Stevia and sugar, but they phased it out in 2020.

I remember when Stevia was banned in the U.S. except as a nutritional supplement. That was dumb.

Do they sell it in the U.K.? In any pre-made drinks/foods? It's still pretty rare to see it in pre-made stuff, but I see it every now and then. I'm just glad it's in a convenient liquid form now.
