Okay so I gave up artificial sweetener today. Drank water instead and had real sugar in my coffee. It actually wasn't too bad. My question is for those who have given it up, did you notice any positive effects? Thanks.

    I was forced to give it up for a month until I bought some Splenda after my international move. I didn't notice any positive effects, still craved biscuits and chocolate and ate more of those foods to compensate for the missing artificially sweetened foods. I went right back to my artificial ways. But I do notice that when I don't eat anything sweet tasting for awhile -- artificial or natural -- my desire for sweets becomes very minimal.

    I've done it before and it didn't help. If you are looking for a healthy sweetener try one of the monk fruit or Stevia sweeteners.
