Which artificial sweetener do you prefer?

[JOANNE M HOLL 388]

I'm using Splenda in my Earl Grey Tea right at the moment. I've baked with it, Cookies, pies & etc., no one even knows I used it. pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving, Cranberries at Christmas & etc. Especially good in Rhubarb pie in the spring. I started this 8 years ago when I was borderline diabetic and got my blood sugar count so I wouldn't have to have insulin. I have bought C & H light sugar & steva blend for cold drinks such as ice tea. Half the calories as sugar.

Hi Im 4 yrs out. I personally don't use ANY artificial sweeteners. Sweets are not in my life anymore, and I no longer crave them. My extensive research tells me aspartame (which most artificial sweeteners are made of) is not a good health product. Stevia seems to be the lesser of all the evils. But again like all things this surgery has taught us is..To get use to tastes that normally we would not like. If I have to use a sugary substance, I just use the real thing in very small doses. Sorry for being the downer, but sugar was one of my biggest problems, not to mention all the damage it did to my system and skin. I've purposely dumped my sugar flavor habit. Not realistic for most people, but it had to be for me. oh I do love to bake, so I've had to tweek my recipes with applesause or mashed bananas, or any fruit that gives me that "I just a great desert" taste. Good question though, says your looking for better alternatives, always keep looking, it gets quite interesting.

Absolutely what everyone should be trying to donor at least find a natural sweetening substitute like honey, agave and or palm leef sugar (great for baking).

Try Just Like Sugar, by a company called Table Top. Zero calories, zero sugar, gluten free etc.. It's made from chicory root.

I guess I only use it in coffee or tea, but there is also a version of this specifically for baking... Have yet to try that, but it looks promising.
