Not Quite The Fountain Of Youth (but close)
I have been trying to find an alternative to sugar and artificial sweeteners I've been sampling Purevia, Truvia and Stevia In The Raw. All those companies graciously sent me samples and coupons.

Giving up Diet Coke

Hi, I usually never count grams of sugar mainly fat and calories however I noticed my daily intake is about 150 grams on a good day when I don't drink any pop or refined sugars.
