STEVIA extract:
The Not-So-Secret Ingredient in Pepsi NEXT
Stevia is a plant originally from South America. Its leaves hold the key to the perfect taste and fewer calories found in Pepsi NEXT. After harvesting and steeping the leaves, water and impurities are filtered out leaving behind stevia extract, which is then crystalized. This extract is 200-300 times sweeter than sugar with zero calories. By replacing 30% of the sugar found in Pepsi with this natural sweetener, the result is a refreshing real cola taste that you have to experience to believe.
