In my opinion, the best artificial sweetener is no artificial sweetener at all. For me, all it does is encourage my sweet tooth and that makes it more likely for me to eat things I really shouldn't be eating. I don't need to be drinking sweet drinks....I need to drink more water. I don't need to be eating desserts, even if they're artificially sweetened and low carb....the better choice for me would be to enjoy the sweetness of fruits that are lower in carbs, such as watermelon and berries (when it becomes appropriate to incorporate those into my eating, of course).
