    I never use splenda, nor have I ever used Stevia, but I am a huge fan of Organic Agave Nectar. I put it in my oatmeal, drizzle some on my fruits, etc. Can also use it to sweeten a smoothie.

    Stevia is a plant. I don't really know what all they do to it to transform it from a leafy grean plant to the powders that are sold, so I don't know if it's any better than the other artificial sweetners. I don't really care for the taste of artificial sweetners and don't want the calories or the insulin surge from sugar so for the most part I just drink unsweetened tea, water or wine. When I do have a soft drink, I go for diet if it's available because I don't like the taste as much, and therefore won't be tempted to drink more than I need to quench my thirst, plus I don't want to blow any calories that I could have in a glass of wine later. :drinker:
