Hi Everyone,
What is your opinion of various and sundry sweeteners for use in recipes?
Personally, I have yet to find an artificial sweetener that is a good fit for me. I don't mind the taste of Splenda, but consuming more than a minute amount causes stomach upset for me. While the other more popular options don't cause any distress, I don't care for the taste of them at all.
I have had a little success with Stevia in terms of taste and it doesn't provide any unpleasant side effects for me. Often, I simply don't bother with any sweetener at all. Even before I was diagnosed, I preferred my tea without sugar and didn't really care for any extra sugar added to my cooked fruits.
That being said, has anyone come across something a little out of the box that might be worth trying?
