Splenda?

Splenda packets are 33 Calories per 10g versus sugar at 39 Calories. You don't save much. Splenda already in products is better.

yh white sugar is not great but brown is good. Isn't sweetener more sweet that actual sugar so make you crave more things? I still say either brown sugar or honey if im honest but that's just me, there's enough rubbish in this world that goes into food so I don't need to add to it

If you make sure your brown sugar is naturally raw brown sugar this is correct, if not it is simply white sugar with molasses added for color and flavor. just sayin'...

Did a bit of searching, there are plenty of sweetener choices out there:

In alphabetical order, and not that I recommend one over the other:

Agave Nectar
Apple Syrup
Aspartame (NutraSweet, Equal)
Barley Malt Syrup
Birch Syrup
Brown Rice Syrup
Corn Fructose
Dates and Date Sugar
Fruit Spreads
Honey
Maple Syrup
Oligofructose
Refined White Sugar
Saccharin (Sweet 'n Low)
Stevia Leaf
Sucralose (Splenda)
Sugar Alcohols
Unrefined Cane Sugar
Vegetable Glycerin

I tend to trust WebMD and MayoClinic.com for health/safety analysis.

I will also note that you probably consume more sweeteners from processed food than what you put in your beverage. On average there are 10 teaspoons of sugar in a can of soda/pop. http://marshallbrain.com/science/sugar-in-soda.htm

And go read the labels on your yogurt, ketchup, and peanut butter containers.

What about diet sodas? I love my coke zero.
