    Good article. I used to use Splenda like a mad woman, found out the crap I was putting in my body then I switched to honey or Stevia. Thanks for putting this out there. Funny you just put this up. I commented on someones post about this topic not 5 minutes ago.

    I just stopped using artificial sweeteners last week, after my dad had a heart attack and his dr told him it was bad for his heart. Its better to consume sugar in moderate levels, than that junk!

    I usually use stevia, which is natural. But when I'm out, I have to use artificial if I order tea, etc. It sounds like it might be worth it just to drink sweetened tea with sugar... or duh...just order water!!!!

    It's a little off topic, but relevant. I actually used to be a big fan of those "Eat this, Not That" books until I got the kid's one and it actually promoted letting your kids use artificial sweeteners which really urked me. Surely a little bit of sugar is better than a weird laboratory chemical that your body doesn't know what to do with. Something just doesn't seem right about them, I try to limit my use of them and I've never given any to my kid.

    Water!

    My brother in law recently adjusted to drinking koolaid without sweeteners. Orange flavored, to be precise. I think it tastes gross but, well, at least he's not putting any extras in his body (except flavoring of course).

    But really? Water. For the win.

    I always thought I was doing good drinking diet drinks...how wrong was I! And the artificial sweetners being sweeter than the real thing making me crave more!!!!! No wonder I love sugar so much! I've switched to Truvia and I've been doing well with it.

    So...I should cut back on the Splenda hot-rails and instead just do lines of honey to get a good drip going? Damn.

    I disagree, I think the problem we face today with our modern diets is that we have become lazy and opt for the processed junk as opposed to plain natural foods. How many of us go grab that bag of chips or bag of cookies after a long day? I know I used to, but since I got my diet cleaned up and cut out about 90% of the processed foods I am much happier, healthier and very few cravings other than for the healthier stuff I eat.
