What kind of sweetener do you all use? I usually use the pink stuff (sweet n low). But I know it is probably not the healthiest stuff out there. Was just wondering what everyone uses to sweeten coffee or tea. I don't usually use sweetener in anything else except maybe oatmeal occasionally (but usually that is brown sugar). I would like for it to be calorie free, since every calorie counts, but if it is good and worth it, I will fit the calories in.

You will hear all sorts of differing opinions on sweeteners. You just need to make your own decisions if you want to include them in your diet or not.

Personally, I use splenda (which is made from sugar, not chemicals) or stevia (all natural).

If neither of those are available, I just use regular sugar.

I use sweet n low too but I may start splenda again bc its healthier

I use splenda mainly. Sometimes evaporated cane juice and/brown sugar for some baked goods.

Stevia (and not the franken-engineered truvia junk). Occasionally maple syrup or honey.

Does splenda or stevia dissolve in cold liquids? Regular sugar does not dissolve in cold liquids, which is why I always used sweet n low. I do like my iceed to be slightly sweet. Sorry! I don't know much at all about sweeteners

Splenda dissolves very quickly in cold liquids. Its what I always use when I get unsweetened tea from restaurants. I'm not sure about stevia though.

I just use regular sugar or honey, or just plain go without. I drink my tea plain, every once in awhile I squirt a little honey in it.

I gave up all pop; the regular stuff was not worth the calories and the diet stuff made my stomach upset.

I use a smaller amount of real sugar if I'm baking and have nothing in tea, coffee, cereal etc. Artificial stuff makes me really sick.

wheresmyraise - you can buy liquid stevia. Whole Foods or Trader Joe's has it, or you can find it online.
