Opinions on Sweeteners

cosmicgirl64

Hi guys,

Just wondering what people's views on sweeteners are. Personally, I don't eat ANYTHING with artificial sweetener, even those "natural" ones like stevia. I can't find any unbiased articles about them though. How natural can they be if they're a pile of white powder? I always substitute sweetener with palm sugar or honey

I dont mind the non nutritive sweetners although some give headaches. IDK guess we'll all find out in 50yrs who was right and who was wrong.

yep, I do my best to avoid that level of processed food. I'd rather just taste the food as it is without a truckload of chemical thrown at it! not everything has to be sweet...

I don't eat them. They just taste bad to me. I'm also not a huge fan of processed foods in general.

I'm a diabetic with a sweet tooth. I don't care what artificial sweetener is used as long as what I'm eating is sweet.

Been this way for 20 year, have 3 monthly full check ups, no issues here.

I like to use Raw Cane Sugar, Honey, Palm Sugar and sometimes for particular native dishes ~ I will extract the juices of certain plants for a specific dish or a fruit based syrup.

Artifical sweetners always left an odd,off taste in my mouth.So when the Dr told me to avoid them,as they might bring on migraines.

Sure works for me,migraines have become few & far between. Not a problem for me. I use regular sugar,measured.
