  1. I've tried Stevia: BITTER, BITTER.

    And, that other sweetener that is something like 1/3 the
    calories of sugar? I had to use LOTS of it. And, it gives
    you BAD gas and diarrhea.

    Is there a good (and hopefully natural) sweetener?

    Stevia is not as good as its proponents claim. See:

    cspinet.orgstevia.html

    " "Although there is no evidence of harm to people,
    laboratory studies of stevia have found potential cancer and
    reproductive-health problems. Stevia depressed sperm
    production in male rats and reduced the number and size of
    the offspring of female hamsters. Until those concerns are
    disproven, stevia should not be used by manufacturers in
    soft drinks, candy, or other foods," said David Schardt,
    associate nutritionist for CSPI.

    The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) over the past
    10 years has rejected three food-additive petitions
    for stevia because its safety had not been adequately
    demonstrated. Canada also has not approved its use,
    and last year a scientific review panel for the
    European Community declared that stevia is
    unacceptable for use in food."

    It seems like you should be using real sugar and/or
    aspartame, which has never been proven to be the evil the
    anti-aspartamistas claim it is. Scratch the surface of their
    claims, and you will find nothing to worry about, unless you
    suffer from PKU, which you should already know.

    One of the best sweeteners available is called "SUCROSE".
    100% nature it is one of the most wide spread sugars in
    nature. Used in moderation it is 100% safe when used by
    otherwise healthy persons.

    In this case, both. Several years ago I debated these anti-

    that Betty Martini was, is, and always will be, a liar.

    You should know that she is the leading nutcase on the net
    wrt aspartame. She was given a honorary doctorate by a non-
    accredited bible college and now calls herself doctor. Hulda
    Clark, and you know how I feel about her, has more of a

    JO's point, which you obvously missed because of it's subtle
    presentation, is that perhaps you should examine your
    reasons for wanting a sugar substitute. Drinking "diet" soft
    drinks will not make you skinny. If you are worried about
    the calories in sugar, eat and drink less sweet stuff. Even
    if you are diabetic, sugar is not totally taboo; just make
    it an occasional treat in small amounts, not a major
    component of your diet. Learn to drink your coffee and tea
    unsweetened. Learn to do without whatever it is that you are
    trying to sweeten with substitutes.

    Oh, and learn to respond to strangers in newsgroups with
    courtesy and reason, not schoolyard namecalling.

    Do not worry about those who respond to posts with childish
    remarks!!! There is a myth put forth by those who want to
    market expensive and off time dangerous sugar replacements
    that table sugar or sucrose is unnatural and unhealthy. It
    is neither!! As I mentioned it is one of the most abundant
    of all sugars found in nature. It makes up around 10% by
    weight of "fruits" like dates. Sucrose is composed of a
    glucose and fructose molecule linked together. In the human
    body sucrose undergoes hydrolysis to form an equal mixture
    of D-glucose and D-fructose. Honey , loved by the table
    sugar haters, is largely a mixture of sucrose, D-glucose and
    D-fructose. So in effect eating table sugar (sucrose) has
    the same effect of eating honey minus the antigens found in
    honey that can in some people cause a fatal reaction. Eating
    sugar in moderation is not only NOT fattening but very
    healthy way to cut one appetite and lose weight. This has
    been know by the ladies of Europe for centuries and is the
    basis for the afternoon tea. A little tea with sugar and a
    sweet cake at around 4:00 in the after noon serves to raise
    the blood sugar level and stem the appetite. So that less is
    consumed for the evening meal. The same is true for the
    morning tea. One major problem is the English speaking world
    is that much of the food consumed is pre-package or pre-
    prepared and loaded with extra sugar. Taking a little extra
    time to prepare food from the basic ingredients can over
    come this problem. Not drinking "soft drinks" by the litre
    (gallon) is also a good plan. Also don't stick a bowl of
    "sugar poofos" in from of your kid in the morning and then
    complain about the sugar company causing them to be over
    weight with bad teeth. Get up ten minute early and fix the
    kid a decent meal.

    to look into the recent Atkins studies which show that
    protein regulates appetite, thus you eat much less on

  17. I heard of one called Trutina Dulcem (see link below). It is
    supposedly all natural and low glycemic. Haven't tried it
    myself so I can't comment on it; and I hear it's expensive.
    I included a link below (in case you're interested).

    Is there a good (and hopefully natural) sweetener?
