For the sweet love of Rebiana

Finally, there may be something on the horizon capable of sweetening our food and drink without adding to the chemical craze that keeps us wondering if sugary additives will one day poison us. It's called Rebiana, and it might just be the sugar substitute we've been waiting for.

Rebiana is currently spending its days under the microscope to ensure it's up to task of widespread use in the United States. Stay tuned for more developments.
