NO Splenda. I use Sweet Leaf which is stevia.

Hi Bassermommer, just want to know difference between each, if you know? Is splenda artificial?Thanks...

[Bassetmommer NKF Ambassador in reply to Dana66CKD]

Anything that is not sugar and has additives is "artificial" sugar.... or sweetener. Stevia is the most natural, but it is what is added to it to make it useable that makes it artificial..... like the inulin and silica. You do not find anything other than sugar in sugar. They are all sweeteners.... honey which is not artificial.... it is natural and no additives. Sugar cane or molasses is natural unless it has additives.

I try to not use any of those artificial sweeteners. I use agave syrup in my coffee. Otherwise I only drink water.

Yaw this is serious stuff. Just sayin. I worked with a nurse that worked in a dementia type facility. She said the one common denominator was intake of artificial sweeteners

If I need to use sweetener, I use Splenda. Everything else gives me some kind of problem.
