Hey guys what is your take on artificial sweeteners?Do you have a favorite? Splenda, stevia, ect..
Stevia is the healthiest
Why? because it has no chemicals?
LOL at people hating on splenda for being a chemical.

Stevia is the healthiest
You're right. May as well throw caution to the wind with everything I guess. That's like saying, "Oh I dropped my phone, I guess I'll smash it with a hammer until it's totally worthless."
No matter how hard you try you'll never eliminate every toxin, but that's kind of the point. Control the ones you can.

Exactly ,, splenda does taste good but stevia def healthiest ,, been using it for awhile now , already use to the taste. An glad I made the switch ..
Because it's an extract from an herb. Splenda is chemical garbage. If you don't want to use sugar, there are so many other options that are still healthy.
Stevia
Raw honey
Date sugar
Molasses
Sorghum
Agave
Rapadura
All natural, all unrefined and not processed.
Just about every restaurant only offers the blue, pink, and yellow packet combo. I was told by a dietician that the splenda was the better choice of the three. Not saying that stevia is better or worse, just saying its not an option most of the time.
So you have no control over your steroid use? You should blast splenda users and label them unhealthy?
Your point is a gross over-generalization. How is stevia healthier than splenda anyway? Natural things can be bad for you too.
How is it healthier? Does anyone have any studies that show stevia is "healthier" than splenda, or that either is inherently safe/unsafe? How are we defining health, anyway?
Pretty sure most of us don't eat sugar for th calorieS, not because it's sugar.
There haven't been any conclusive long term studies done on either stevia or splenda because both are relatively new to the market, only short term research. It's still pretty much inconclusive SO FAR according to studies. Now we all know how bad aspartame(equal) and saccarin(sweet n low) are because those have been around a lot longer. When humans modify things taken from nature, it seems that there are side effects that follow. Not saying that everything from nature that is untouched is good for you either. My opinion is that until there is enough research done on both stevia and splenda, we can't say for sure if one is better for you health wise than the other.
Most restaurants don't carry stevia because of the price. Blue-Equal/aspartame. Studies have shown that it affects the brain and can cause alzheimer's over long term consumption. Pink-Sweet n Low/saccarin. It causes cancer over long term consumption. Yellow-Splenda. Still inconclusive results because it hasn't been studied over a long enough period of time.
How is it healthier? Seriously? Do you know what sucralose is? It's chlorinated sugar. Surely you can conclude that's not as healthy as a natural herb that has been used as a sweetener, and medicinally, by South American cultures for 1,500+ years.

That may be true, but here is an interesting study regarding that point. No calories doesn't necessarily mean no consequences.
