I had this discussion with a co-worker today about the goods / bads of artificial sweeteners because she was putting some sucanat in her tea and I was chugging my usual diet coke. For craps & giggles I looked up any discussion of this on the boards and found only one from 2002:

Here is some other information about some alternative sweeteners that I wasn't aware of:

I'll have to look at the Agave sites...... they use that plant to make tequila!!

CRISIS! WILL ROBINSON! CRISIS!

I have a small box, but I'm waiting to hit Costco for the jumbo econo size. Otherwise I steal .. um I mean borrow, from the Dunkin Donuts in my building.

I figured StellarTiggy might be happy to hear I am out of Splenda, but alas I have 4 more boxes in my cabinet, so she will be disappointed....
