Default Splenda, Equal etc.

are all chemically inferior sugar substitutes and some are even worse than aspertame. Some are also neuro toxins like aspertame. Stevia is the sweetener of choice as it is plant based. Do not be fooled by the marketing of the other sweeteners, just follow the money and you will see that your health is not their first concern! Just because you do not experience apparent adverse affects, it does not mean that the substance is OK or will not result in problems down the line. If you google any of the substitutes and read about them from sources other than the manufacturers, you will get a better picture of what they are. Remember that the doctors get their info from the drug suppliers and that many of them are major contributors to the Diabetic Association. Sorry for getting on my soap box but it really upsets me to hear of so many who are being led around by Big Pharma and the FDA. I've pasted in a link that is much more eloquent than I am and gives you the info you are seeking. I'll get down now. Sorry if I offended anyone. That is not my intention.
