  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:

    http://cspinet.org/new/stevia.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.

    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.

    recent Atkins studies which show that protein regulates appetite, thus you
    eat much less on Atkins)
