Love 'em.
- I use Splenda, Sweet N Low (for tea only), and occasionally Stevia. I don't believe they're good for me, but I'm diabetic and in my case I think sugar would be worse. I do make a point of avoiding aspartame and agava because of things I've read. While it has not been established, there is at least some evidence from reputable sources that aspartame is a neurotoxin. Again, that has not been scientifically proven, but I prefer to avoid it. I also avoid sugar alcohols. They cause flatulence and seem to run my sugar up as much or more that things with real sugar.

- You might be convinced you’re doing the right thing for your health and the health of your family by using products artificially sweetened. You couldn’t be more mistaken. It’s not pleasant to learn that corporations, government-sponsored regulatory agencies and politicians are more interested in lining their pockets than protecting your health. These are serious issues that you must consider for you and your family’s safety. Manufacturers, marketers and others with financial interests have successfully convinced millions of consumers the chemicals used in artificially sweetened products are safe. Don’t believe them! . For now, just keep in mind that the reason you feel products containing artificial sweeteners are safe is a direct result of deliberate deception on the part of big business and government.

Love Them Or Hate Them
- I use date sugar in as many foods as I can... it can leave a grittiness in some foods. The taste is super delicious. It's also healthy as it's completely natural & has fiber.

Honey is a wonderful sweetner
- I do not like artificial sweetners, the after taste really ruins the flavor of foods. I recently tasted the stevia sweetner, although it's suppose to be natural the after taste is just as bad as the artifical sugars. Honey is my very favorite natural sweetner, I love a good cup of tea honey and lemon.

sweeteners
- I ve been using sweeteners for a long time. I dont want to get extra calories from the sugar. I dont want to feed potential cancer cells in my body with sugar. I use 10-12 pellets a day, mostly in tea and coffeee, which is under the dangerous amount for human being.

love them
- I use Splenda. I treat sugar like its a drug, and avoid it. I don't like the way it makes me feel. I haven't heard of anyone dying from Splenda poisoning, but Diabetes and obesity are #1 killers!

Hate Them
- I believe the philosophy if man made it don't eat it. I try to eat only natural foods. I use locally produced honey or stevia mostly. I was a sugar addict and recently discovered Gymnema that is helping me break that addiction.

User of Artifical Sweetners
- I use Splenda in coffee and in cooked oatmeal - the taste is good with no after taste. I plan to start using Splenda in baking where sugar is required to minimize the use of white sugar. Not a fan of Equal or Sweet & Low; they seem to leave an after taste.

Hate them!
- I can't drink any of the diet sodas wtih Aspartame in them, they give me a headache. We live with enough chemical exposure in our daily lives, why add to that exposure by ingesting yet another chemical?

Diet Soda
- I like diet soda because it has no calories. I actually don't like sugary soda now - it's too sweet.
