Honey or a little sugar for me. Hate the taste of stevia, tastes like aspartame to me. Aspartame gives me cramps so bad and then the effects of irritable bowels is just not worth it. Put the headaches that it caused on top of the intestinal issues it gives me and I am not a happy camper. I went to a restaurant once and asked the manager if a particular desert had aspartame it it and he asked " why, it isn't any different than sugar" informed him that many people can have sensitivities to certain chemicals as some who have food allergies. He was not concerned, we no longer eat at that establishment.
