Here's a nice little rundown on sugar substitutes. I lost most of my "sweet tooth" a few years ago but even when I had it, I didn't consider the safety of Aspartame, Sucralose, Saccharin or a couple of others that came and went. I didn't let them into my body because I thought they all tasted terrible. Now, I'm not even wild about sugar. I do use a protein powder that's flavored with Stevia and occasionally a lemonade mix.
