Guest guest Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Quality Stevia is good the lesser is a bit bitter - I am using Just Like Sugar (URL of the same name) and like it and the blurb I read about it - I am also using Agave Nectar which is also very pleasant.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 No, far from it. If you chew on a piece of sugar cane that's growing in a field, that's natural. But the way it is processed, with removing all the good stuff, bleaching, etc., it ends up very unnatural. Anything that is so highly processed is not natural.CarolKenneth <plisca wrote: Okay, silly me but I always thought that "sugar" was natural.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Edgar Cayce said beet sugar was the least taxing on the body. My thinking is anything brown (unrefined) is better than anything white because it still contains the trace minerals (which is part of what your body is craving when you crave sweets) I've tried a few things and I'm partial to agave nectar or honey. Of course honey doesn't dissolve in cold cereal very well. And if you can't live without sugar maybe you have some intestinal worms calling the shots. FEEEED MEEEE!!

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 I've used xylitol in the past because I think it tastes the best. I don't use it that often because it costs so much. It's made from corn cobs and birch trees so I believe it's pretty natural. I'm sure there will be people here with thoughts on this??

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Xylitol seemed very chemical to me and gave me appalling diarrhoea - i rang the company and discussed this with them and they sent me some more in compensation which I found very strange - perhaps they thought I'd try again - but there didn't seem to be any point!
