What is your opinion on artificial sweeteners like Splenda? Do you think its better to just have the real stuff or to cut some calories and use artificial sweeteners instead? I have also tried Stevia but it has a strange after taste, especially when heated.

    I've never been a fan of artificial sweeteners although I admit I've very curious about Truvia. My personal alternative to refined sugar is REAL brown sugar (not the refined white sugar with molasses added) and Sugar in the Raw. I believe the company that manufacturers Sugar in Raw also manufacturers Stevia.

    They are fine if you're using them to sub for sugar.

    I use stevia in the raw. It's great stuff, its a more natural alternative to sugar :)
