Need opinion about artificial sweeteners.

I use aspertame, saccharine and sucralose occasionally. I checked my sugar level each time having recipes made from these sweeteners and have found that they generally have sugar lowering effect. I searched many websites and come to know that all these sweeteners are safe to use. So my question is that ,can I use them on a regular basis to sweeten tea, coffee, etc?

Thank you sir. I am using sugarfree natura of zydus. The company says that we can safely use it for making any food preparation as it contains zero calories and safe to use.

Worst Artificial Sweeteners:

Aspartame (Equal, NutraSweet, NatraTaste Blue)

Sucralose (Splenda)

Acesulfame K (ACE K, Sunette, Equal Spoonful, Sweet One, Sweet 'n Safe)

Saccharin (Sweet 'N Low, Sweet Twin)

Xylitol, Sorbitol.

Stevia is the best.

I've heard that, it has a bitter after taste. How does it actually taste like?

[suramo Star in reply to Hidden]

I seldom use sweetner. But, even aspartame and saccharine have bitter after taste. Aspartame also gets converted to formaldehyde in our body, though in negligible amount I'd prefer to avoid it. Stevia is derived from natural leaves, so it's better.

I use Splenda and have been since I found out I had hep 2. hasn't seemed to bother me for the last 5 years

thanks buddy.

Since these are organic compounds please avoid these.The safest is stevia and worst is aspertane.Try to be free from these.sometimes if occasionally if mind desires take natural sweet but with little quantity.Thanks.

What are the possible side effects?

[Luckysugar in reply to Hidden]

Sweeteners are chemically made which can harm us in many ways. Our body deserves real and natural food so that it can function effectively. There are many readings on this topic available online, here is one of them.
