Hi everyone! I've recently started cooking and baking and I was wondering if I should stick with sugar in my recipes or replace with Splenda? I've heard negative things about Splenda and I'm not sure which to use.
Any advice?

Hello from Chicago!
I was just watching webcast with Oprah & Dr. Oz. One topic was your question.
It seems like the choice they advocate is using agave or regular sugar.
