I don't cook with sugar anymore, I don't use sugar anymore. I buy Truvia - a sugar made from the Stevia plant. No calories. You use less than regular sugar. I love it. I like the taste better than regular sugar. And it is natural. 1/2 t. for a bowl of oatmeal. Can't beat that! If the sugar free whatever is made with the Stevia plant, I'll buy it, otherwise, I just make my own stuff and taste till it is the right flavor for me. Perfect with fresh fruit, grapefruit. Just a little bit sweetens it up so nice. Edie
