Artificial sweetners
I have used Splenda for years (can't stand sweet and low taste), but have been wondering about Stevia and others.
What do you like best? |
I use Stevia whenever I use artificial sweetner.
|
After reading everything I can get my hands on, I only use Stevia.......safe for thousands of years, plant-based, etc.

I use truvia (which I think is the same thing as stevia). Tastes great and helped in my weight loss journey. I drink a lot of tea and only use truvia. I still use a lot, but there's zero calories, so it's all good! I just buy the big green bag, that's ~$8 where I get it. No need to rip open many little packets!

I like Monk Fruit sweetener. No artificial sweetener is good when heated though unless mixed with real sugar.

We only use stevia.

I tried the Stevia in packets and was not impressed. Still got an "artificial sweetener" taste. My sister in law said to try the Stevia liquid drops, so I picked some up but have not tried them yet.
I wouldn't used any other kind of sweetener, they all taste bad to me. Can't stand diet soda. And the sugar alcohols (maltitol, etc) give me the trots. |
I found a sweetener called Swerve. It says it is all natural but there isn't a sweetener that isn't processed except honey so who knows how natural. It tastes and acts like sugar which is also processed. I have grown stevia and it is a plant like sugar cane just calorie free. I do use stevia products and another product called whey low. Whey low has fewer calories than sugar but still has a high calorie count. It is good and can be used in cooking and canning. I also have and use the others mentioned. It is amazing how many sweeteners there is. I believe the only one that is natural and good for you is honey but it is still high calorie.
