Which sugar substitute is the best? Sugar is not an option.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 21 08:15:10 2013 No.4170229 They ar all terrible. Aspartame doesn't even taste like sugar. sucralose taste like burned caramel, and stevia has a weird plant aftertaste. Better learn to dose real sugar better than replacing it.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jan 21 12:28:09 2013 No.4170600 >>4170263 Xylitol is pretty bad in my opinion. All those sugar alcohol sweeteners just taste off.

stevia is the only clear choice. it is the only sweetener that actually balances your insulin levels, and you use a LOT less of it. if you can go from sugar to stevia you will live a lot longer and not get dabeetis.

The FDA had a problem with it until Coca-Cola and Pepsi wanted to use its derivatives, then they said, "durrr sure it is okay".

>>	Anonymous Tue Jan 22 08:15:09 2013 No.4173394 >>4171721 Do you have any idea just what sugar does to the body? Its way more dangerous than heroin, or even alcohol. Sugar effects so many body functions I cant even list them. Worrying about cancer is just one of them.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jan 22 12:13:10 2013 No.4173690 >>4173313 The shit literally comes over to you and hands you a bag of cancer. How did this word get into the vocabulary of the masses?
