It begins with an X and I get it on line. As I have poured it into another container I can't remember its name.

I don't use any sugar at all... My sugar quota comes from natural sources such as whole fruits... ☺️

I take Guava, cherry, Plum, Kiwi, Strawberry, blueberry, black berry, Tomato, occassionally orange...

My basic objective of taking these fruits is not for getting sugar. Sugar is only a by product.... And sugar is there everywhere ... Some are simple and some are complex though...

I take these fruits as these fruits give me the vitamins/minerals, soluble fiber, all Phyto-nutrients , antioxidants which are having anti inflammatory properties...helps producing Nitric oxide and keeps my endothelial in sound health.

I am afraid I do not use sugar in tea or coffee.

Yes, I eat fruits, oranges, pears, papaya, kiwi and bananas.

Sugar comes from hidden form in food and drinks as well as free sugar from fruits and veg!

The choices are wrongly labeled. It should have been sweeteners and not sugars.

I use Stevia in coffee and tea because it is the only artificial sweetener which has been shown to produce no side effects. A recent research has shown that all artificial sweeteners effect gut bacteria while Stevia has been shown to have no effect on gut bacteria.
