I'm looking for the least dangerous sugar substitute. I got this new fad, that I need to stay clear of aspartame. It's a real shame, as I loved diet soda, and aspartame is the most commonly used. I tried quitting sweeteners all together, but I found that too hard. Sugar is not an option, as I won't risk getting fat.
So, what is the least controversial and least dangerous sweetener?
drink tea. Put lemon in it instead of sugar.
If you're afraid of the chemicals in diet soda, there's only one option: sugar and moderation.Quote:

All the artificial sweeteners are bad for you, including splenda (sucralose), regardless of what they will tell you. I think stevia is natural, but it tastes like ass. I agree with Grave, sugar and moderation.
"moderation"... You guys are killing me! It is the chemicals that frighten me. I got somewhat addicted to diet-coke, it's hard to say why, but I partly blame aspartame. I'm a coffee drinker, will lemon work in that?
Drink fresh, good coffee and you won't need any sweeteners. :D
When I gave up soda i switched to ice tea. I still used natural sugar, but it doesn't have nearly the amount coke does, nor does it have all the chemicals. I recommend that route if this is all about giving up soda.Quote:

I use sugar when I have to, but I tend to drink coffee black, iced tea unsweetened, and I steer clear of sodas. I'm not really huge on sweet shit.
you would dick on salty things
Didn't you gain a few pounds? I'm easing off slowly, and allow myself a sugar soda 1-2 times a week. Did you make the ice tea yourself?Quote:
