Sweetener in tea and coffee...none. I use sugar when baking and just control the portions consumed. Good luck!0

i was thinking the same thing...0 -
Ok. The problem with sugar is that the food industry added it to everything over the last few decades because they removed fat from everything. Do yourself a favor, only consume it in its natural state, from fruit and veggies.
Good luck with kicking your addiction. Anyone telling you its not addictive is just fos.0 -

Strong first post. I had to go back and reread the OP to make sure, but nowhere does she claim she's an addict. I'm not going to broach that topic because the arguments it causes just wear me out, tbh, but you shouldn't label her as having an addiction when she hasn't said it first.0 -
I either do regular sugar or agave.0

sugar- brown, powdered or just plain granulated.0

sugar is a plant based sweetener...just sayin'...sugar if fine for most people in appropriate amounts.0 -
If I am not using sugar in baking I usually use maple syrup. Honey is also common but I am not a big fan of honey and neither is my four year old so I do not use it much.0

Less sugar? I tend to stick to natural sweeteners because the artificial ones (along with stevia and agave) leave a really crappy aftertaste.0

Organic honey and maple syrup are great sweeteners. Stevia is also fantastic and zero calorie, however you really have to make sure it is pure and not processed.
Always reach for real sugar before reaching for fake, low calorie, processed junk. If you have health concerns regarding sugar, talk to your doctor.0
