So first, the purpose of artificial sweeteners is to eat sweet things with lower calories which for weight control may work perfectly well for a lot of people so I am not going to tell you how to run your life. BUT — yes, there is always a BUT….. do your research!!
Splenda is not “natural” nor is any other artificial sweetener — even the ones made with Stevia. They are all highly processed chemicals. I have grown Stevia, it is NOTHING like the little packets.
So — choose which one is right for you — or accept that you cannot fake your sugar tooth and just not eat so many sweet things.
Sugar has downfalls — like diabetes and obesity for a lot of people. Not to mention tooth decay
Splenda has a lot of issues if you read some of the studies but some people like it because they can bake with it.
Stevia in little packets and in soda has a weird taste to me – some may like it — but it still is a chemically created artificial sweetener so if you are eating it but don’t really like it, might be worth asking yourself why and looking at your relationship with sweet foods.
So just saying maybe you should reconsider why you need so many baked goods and eat a WHOLE healthy diet where there are not so many chemical ingredients 🙂
