Artificial sweeteners in my opinion are poison and should be completely eliminated from our diet. Stevia is a great and completely natural alternative.
I also try to stay away from white sugar but I would rather consume that then artificial sweeteners any day.

The best thing is to stay away from artificial sweeteners, they cause all kinds of problems. If can stay with a natural sweetener. I use Stevia which is plant based. I grow my own, but you can find it all over the place ready to use, and Moore and more things are being made with it.

Stevia is the only artificial sweetener that doesnt affect me so far. I try to go as natural as possible with my foods. I grow my own herbs and vegetables when I can and try to stay away from readymade foods.
