Sweetners

[Bekahlea]

This has probably been asked before, so I apologise, I did try searching for a thread but nothing really popped up. I have heard that sweeteners aren't really great for you, but on the other hand, neither is sugar. What do you use to sweeten your hot drinks? At the moment I'm using the silver spoon tablet sweeteners, should I stop?

Dear Bekalea

I agree sweeteners are not good for you. Although they have no calories your body and brain reacts to them as if they are sugar .

If you have unsweetened teas or coffee you will soon get used to it and come to dislike them with sugar.

Thank you, I will have to try and put an end to the sweetners and see how I get on

Hi Bekahlea ,

This is quite a long thread that discusses artificial sweeteners and plenty of people made replies that are helpful in it - so might be worth a look:
