Artificial Sweeteners: A Healthier Alternative to Sugar?


Question
I have finally started losing weight by cutting out all sweets,but have heard that sugar substitutes are dangerous.
I cannot find Stevia where I live.Do you know which brand of sweetener is the healthiest?

Answer
Barry,

Splenda looks OK to me, see whether you can find it. However, keep it in your mind that being fooled by sweet taste without calories, your body forces you to want more sweet food plus eat more ANY food next time you are at the table. Read more about it here:
