4 Best and 3 Worst Sugar Alternatives via MSN Health

Options
I started using Stevia a couple months back after coming across an article similar to this one. It's been great and I haven't looked back since.

    Yes, I LOVE STEVIA! I refuse to eat any artificial sweetners. They taste horrible to me and I don't believe they are good for you at all.

    Stevia FTW! I wish everyone knew it's NOT artificial and doesn't affect your pancreas like sugar! :)

    Thanks for the article, however I have to really question the sources and the "studies" conducted on a few of those.

    Looks like I need to ditch Splenda and switch to Stevia! Wow...to think my Splenda use could be adversely affecting the environment!

    And in a few years... Stevia will be bad for you too. I use raw sugar and local honey.
