If you're off soda, and you're not missing it, by all means, stay away from it. I quit that stuff about 6 or 7 years ago, it's done me no end of good. If you're looking for a sweetener that won't leave you feeling like shit, definitely cutting out Splenda helps (that stuff is HORRIFICALLY bad for you), but lately, I would HIGHLY recommend stevia. It's got a lot of positive benefits, in that it helps control and regulate uric acid levels, and it's also been shown to help combat some forms of obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes. It's one of the active sweetening ingredient in the protein shakes that I make (Hemp Force, which you can check out at onnit.com....it's TREMENDOUSLY awesome stuff, and don't worry, despite the active ingredient the protein is derived from, it's not psychoactive at all and it's one of the best forms of protein you can get, FAR better than soy or whey ( ... )

I got to where I couldn't STAND Splenda. Plus knowing how bad it is for you...yeah. Medifast that I was on last year was ALL about it (which is another reason I'm glad I didn't continue with THAT shitfest.) I'm going to use the honey I bought because I don't mind it so bad, and then I might look into Stevia. I've considered it, because I know it's more natural than most sweetners ( ... )
