My question is if you are going to use an artifical or non sugar sweetner which one if any is best, or least objectionable?

    I like sucralose but I get it plain and not in Splenda. I suppose if you are going for natural stick to agave and stevia. Both are from plants and not "processed" which some people have a huge issue with. I don't.

    I like the OH Agave Light brand of sweetener. It does have calories, but just a touch goes a long way in your coffee. I have not tried cooking with it, but have used it to replace my pancake syrup and love it. The Glycemic index is very low on it, and it is natural.

    I like both agave nectar and honey, even though I usually go for raw sugar. :)

    Splenda. If I want a diet soda, it must have Splenda and not aspartame. Like Diet Rite (LOVE THOSE) and Splenda Coke have Splenda in them...it tastes a lot better.

    tastewise? depends. i use saccharine for coffee, and truvia for most other things. i think the juice i like has splenda.

    trying out stevia a bit, also. it seems ok.

    I don't sweeten anything but my oatmeal, and then I use pure honey.

    just use sugar. sugar isn't bad, over using sugar is as with anything good or bad, moderation.

    Thanks to everyone for your help, you get so much conflicting information from TV, its nice to hear from people who are actually using a product and it not affecting their weight loss!
