Question about Sugar/Sweeteners

[busybeebug 415]

Ok. I get headaches from most "sweeteners". I also don't like the synthetic chemicals used in them. What kind of sweeteners do you use? Does the chemical make up freak you out? Or do I need to stop obsessing over it and bite the bullet? I don't use a ton of real sugar. Less than 1/2 tsp for a 12 Oz of hot tea. Sometimes I use honey. Any helpful thoughts or comments on how or what to do about my sugar use? I guess I know that I have to just stop and/or talk to my Nut about this. But I want to know what you've done. You thoughts on sweeteners. Thank you in advance.

Hi the one thimgucan try is honey that's ok. Didn't really care for it but its ok I even added it to my coffee.< /p>

I agree honey is an option, in moderation.

I am not a big sweet drink person so I add True Lime to my Protein Water and iced herbal tea.

There are some Protein shakes with stevia so that might be something that you like better. Any of the unflavored Proteins could be sweetened with stevia, honey or agave. For additional flavor the fancy vanilla brand (smith and something) makes a vanilla powder (no sugar added), sold in spice aisle where available.

Stevia is a source of sweetness and Fiber. Truvia does not count. If you read the label and it has something added it is chemically altered. Sweet Leaf is a fantastic brand. Look online for it.
