Which artificial sweetener

I dont use them because they taste very weird to me..i can tell right away that something I am eating has artificial sweetener

I sometimes use a bit of honey (1/2 to 1 tsp) or dont use sugar at all. In my coffee I add an extra milk instead of the sugar until i slowly get used to no sugar
There is Agave ...dunno the side effects but from what I have heard, Agave does not give you a sugar rush or effect insulin levels like sugar does..you can google it for more info

Also, on dr oz, they showed that Sweeteners are addictive and can actually make you gain weight after time as your brain is confused and craves more sugar..

Its hard..almost like a damned if you do and damned if you dont scenerio...so i stick to no sugar

Personally when I use Splenda my cravings go through the roof. Does this happen to anyone else?? I use stevia now.

I use truvia also. I'd love to use pure stevia extract, but I can't find it locally and shipping in most of the places I've looked makes it unreasonably priced. At least with the truvia I can pick it up with my other groceries. I used to use Splenda, but I'm leary of it as there are no long term studies yet.....

I use NOW brand xyletol. 10 calories per teaspoon and one teaspoon in my coffee is perfect. I have tried Stevia and I don't like it very much.

I just purchased Stevia to use in baking and in my tea. I really like it.

I've never liked sweet coffee... just give me the pure stuff.

Ignore all of the disclaimers and what not. I really love this stuff and it's all my opinion.

It is a little expensive but it goes a LONG way. Like someone said... a teaspoon of this is as sweet or sweeter than a tablespoon of sugar.

I'll start off saying Every Body is Different. What works for one may not work for another. With that,

I used to use honey but the high-fructose content was actually back-firing on me: immediate "high" followed by a crash & virtual narcoleptic episodes (no joke). I tried Stevia but it just "tastes" artificial & gave me nasty headaches (same as artificial sweeteners like aspartame & I tried them all at different points/times/drinks). I stick with raw cane sugar - the body can metabolize it with little difficulty (unless you have insulin issues) and burn it up without storing it relatively quickly. I use Sugar in the Raw, in coffee & tea, and just make caloric allowances - seriously, run up/down the stairs for a few minutes, play with your pet, unload the dishwasher or fold & put away laundry, you just burned off the 20 cals.

But every Body is different. Use what you like, enjoy, works for you. As a couple people mentioned, artificial sweeteners can be broken down chemically into carcinogens & it seems pretty much everything in this world today causes cancer (ever been talking on your cell phone while heating lunch or dinner in the micro? Yea, exposure to severe radiation on both sides. But if you're not any worse off yet, why worry?).

You only get one life, live it the way you want, for you, and don't let someone else choose for you. You only get one shot...

Stevia! Truvia is pretty good, but you can buy a huge container of the powder at a health foods/supplements store. The brand is NuNaturals. It is WAY cheaper that way... We've had one container for a year.
I don't use that for EVERYTHING though. I think it tastes fine in coffee and tea, I use it in oatmeal sometimes. I have not tried baking/cooking with it. (I usually use cane sugar, sparingly).

Stevia, I use it in my water and green smoothies (sweetleaf english toffee flavored stevia) and in pizza crusts(stevia powder) etc.
