The Best:
Stevia
Sugar alcohols
Honey (I recommend Manuka honey, or raw honey in very small quantities)
Pure glucose
The Worst:
Aspartame
Agave (which I would expand to include all sources of fructose)
Sucralose (Splenda)
Quote:
Only two human trials on sucralose were completed and published prior to the FDA approving Splenda for human consumption, and these two trials included a total of just 36 human subjects. Worse yet, the longest running trial lasted only four days, and looked at sucralose in relation to tooth decay, not human tolerance. As for determining the absorption of Splenda into the human body, a mere eight men were studied.
Based on that singular human study, the FDA allowed the findings to be generalized as being representative of and regarded as "safe" for the entire human population!
