    Thanks for all of the great advice. I've been trying to find a sugar alternative for a few weeks now. Great layout and presentation as well. Congrats on a first class piece of work!

    Just today I found in beetroot (in a glass) Saccharin. Arrghhh. I see no reason for puting sweeteners to such things. About Stevia - this sweetener it's very contoversial! Since last december it is allowed as a foof additive in Europe. But this hasn't convinced a group of peoople who claims that Stevia is actually not a good chooise. That it could be just a clever idea from manufacuters to give the public somethnig else since the artificial sweeteners have such a bad reputation in past years. So in my Android app for food additives Stevia has risk level of "avoid" - at least until there aren't ENOUGH of data available.

    You are right. We shouldn't consume possibly unsafe products (products with Aspartame), we should never risk our health! I did write about a list of commercial foods and drinks that contain Aspartame - http://www.squidoo.com/aspartame-sources-of-aspartame - We should do our best to stay away from these Aspartame sources!

    Wow, you've covered a lot of sweeteners, and I lot of them I prefer not to touch. I stick to maple syrup and honey as much as possible, or no sweetener at all. I'll use some regular sugar sometimes, but none of the artificial ones.

    My favorite and very healthy sweetener is Xylitol, not only does the gum tastes amazing with xylitol, but it is very beneficial to your teeth :)

    Very Informative lens. Being a diabetic patient, I am always concerned about the sugar and it's health effect.
    Just a suggestion, Why don't you use the product reviews in your lens.

    I would be the first one to review, Natvia (http://natvia.com) natural sweetners. I am using it for quite a long now and its results are awesome.

    Interesting post. I read in this that sweeteners increase the risk for bladder cancer. I agree. However, there are a lot of risk factors for bladder cancer.

    Good Lense on the topic of sweeteners! I will try to see how they differ in the ways they affect the body. A related book is "Alternative sweeteners By Lyn O'Brien Nabors"
