I'm surprised to see that the Splenda controversy hasn't been debated here yet (at least my search hasn't turned up a thread.)
Anyway, it's damn hard to know which sweetener is safe - too much money is at stake I suppose.
Anyway, judging by the disinterested nutritionists who have come out against it, I'm staying away from Splenda.
That leaves me with Stevia & Xylitol.
Stevia doesn't taste all that good and I keep coming across warnings; Xylitol tastes great but is basically a sugar alcohol that certainly effects insulin.
Anyone have an opinion on this?
Cheers!
