    Low/No calorie sweeteners?

    Surely we have some BBC bretheren using these products, just tried Truvia (Stevia) and like it quite a bit. Anything else out there that I need to have my eyes on and try out?

    Stevia seems to hit all the buttons, but it's the first thing I've tried. Don't want to waste a bunch of time trying others if I've already got the best.

    We presently use Truvia, but I understand it really isn't a full Stevia extract.

    Stevia is the best you are going to get...

    And for sodas as mentioned above you cannot beat Zevia, stuff is freaking amazing!

    I use sweet n low the pink stuff packets.. type 1 Diabetic.. have to watch as all are not totally sugar free, some are a derivative made from sugar. I tried the other brands and some made my sugar rise and some made me sick. forget the name but yellow bags and looks like granulated sugar and some use for baking, well that crap sent me to ER and stayed 5 days in ICU

    Where do you purchase this?



    Out of several thousand extremely active members we have 7 that use zero calorie sweeteners?

    I've used Splenda, or the Kroger generic Apriva, for at least 10 years. I use it in tea or coffee, on unsweetened cereals, and occasionally for baking. No big reason, just cutting out some calories. If I drink soda, it's also zero calorie, but I rarely do that. I like the taste of Splenda/Apriva, but sometimes it leaves me with dry mouth compared to natural sugars.

    Darn, that's where I get mine... But we do our grocery shopping there. Pretty reasonable as well $3.99 for a 6 pack.

    Go to their website and see if they have a dealer anywhere close by.
