    It could just be that there is really no nutritional benefit in soda, so if you are drinking the caloric version, its just "empty" calories for no nutritional advantage. Personally, I enjoy a diet coke or pepsi regularly during the summer.

    Monk Fruit in the Raw is my go-to sweetener. I really tried to like Stevia and it just tastes funky and I do not do those other sweeteners like sweet and low, splenda, etc. Now, for my coffee I also use something called SugaVida, it is a natural, organic sweetener made from the palmera jaggery plant that has several different B vitamins and other nutrients. There is only one ingredient listed on the package and has no fillers! It has a caramely back flavor that is quite pleasant in coffee. The only drawback is the cost. A small canister is about 13 dollars at my local HEB; however, since I only use it in my coffee due to the cost, it is a worthy investment for me. I actually use half monk fruit and half SugaVida when sweetening my coffee.
