Default Other sweetners besides Stevia and Splenda?

Hi everyone!

I was wondering if there are other sweetners out there with 0 cal, 0 carbs. Splenda is loaded with aspartame along with Sweet & Low and Equal. Aspartame has been linked to brain tumors, mood disorders, retina damage, and even birth defects.

And Stevia is honestly not my on my list for taste.

Any suggestions?

I don't think Splenda has aspartame...

I believe that it is sucralose. NutriSweet is aspartame. Sweet N Low is saccharin.

I use stevia, but I like some brands better than others. I like Purevia better than Truvia. I also like the concentrated powder that I bought at my local health food store. It's called pure leaf stevia. It's highly concentrated, so a little goes a long way. It didn't have any bitter after taste.

I use stevia raw. Truvia has 3g Carbs per packet. My ideal coach pointed this out to me. I was surprised
