Aspartame free sugar alternatives?
I tend to avoid sugar whenever possible. It does nothing good for me, and makes me feel awful, so I am not a fan. But, I love sweet oatmeal and coffee. I have been using splenda for a few years, but I am recently more educated on the negative effects of aspartame and I would like to cut that out of my diet as well. So can…
