I would start out politely, and relating to this issue, by stating that I also have similar issues because I just didn’t like the bitter flavor of coffee, but need the caffeine for energy to keep me going (energy drinks just don’t sit well with me, and make me feel ill). I would then follow up by stating that nothing I have ever done works the same level as sugar, and I tried to cut down for health purpose. Keeping the follow up polite, I would then bring up POCA, mentioning that “it honestly is perfect for me because it adds that perfect amount of sweetness without any of the added calories or what not.” As someone who is actually trying to cut down sugar, this would be the perfect, relatable response!

I think the best way to mention a product without getting downvoted is to be subtle, and weave in a personal relation or experience with the product. It is so important to not thirst the product in anyone’s face, and be mindful of the audience; in my opinion, keep the consumer in mind! Relate to the OP’s question, and tailor your response with that in mind. For POCa, coming across as a fellow consumer and general health love is very important! Projecting that humbly is the key with proper language, relatability, and personal experience.
