Artificial Sweetners

Avoiding sugar -- and all substitutes -- can be hard, right? You're preaching to the choir.

I have found alot of recipes that utilize other things, like applesauce or fruit juice, or even stevia. I search for these. Stevia is said to be safe...I guess it's safe enough. But so was every alternative sugar option at first. So, I use caution. Caution should be used with all sugar and alternatives.

Then again, it is hard to avoid, as I wrote above. In that case, moderation seems really important. Small portions. That may take practice and some mental and emotional awareness! It has for me!
