My dad ALWAYS carried a little container of stevia around with him. I prefer xylitol as I would rather go without than handle the stevia after taste, BUT, I have noticed that the aftertaste isn't so bad if you get the powder packets instead of the liquid. Maybe just me, who knows. My husband also told me that trying to trick my body with chemical sweeteners isn't going to work. Stevia is a plant, Xylitol is a sugar that comes from plants. That's why I use it. That and I am really big on Low GI eating and xylitol is suggested for that. Who knows, I'm no expert here, that's for sure.
