In light of the introduction of stevia to the supermarket shevles, I thought I'd take a survey:

What Is Your Sweetener Choice:

Sweet-n-Low
Slenda
Equal
NutraSweet
Purevia
Truvia
Stevia Extract In The Raw
Xylitol

or good old fashion sugar?

    I've tried everything on that list except Xylitol and Purevia. I can only use Sweet N Low or plain sugar or honey. The others either do weird things to me or have an aftertaste. I've not tried Agave nectar but I've heard it's pretty good.

    HAHA, I always seem to pick up too many little pink packets from whatever restaurant I am in, as well.

    I love stevia, although I buy my stevia from whole foods (not in the raw). I Love it and I used to be a diehard splenda
    fan. I think that stevia has helped reduce my sugar cravings. I add the vanilla flavored stevia to my McCanns oatmeal
    for some flavor. YUM-O

    Truvia is my number one choice, but I do like Splenda and Stevia in the raw. I can't seem to find Truvia anywhere, but in the store when I buy it myself. I wish more restaurants had it available. :grumble:

    Stevia...from Whole Foods like Valerie. I also used agave nectar in baking and cooking, along with honey and maple syrup.

    Splenda. To me all of the other sugar substitutes have an off taste.

    depends on what it's for.

    Splenda for baking or for over berries, but sugar or honey for tea or coffee.
