Ok here's some good sugar substitutes

RexB · Ok here's some good sugar substitutes

Since I've been bashing artificial sweeteners I thought I would give a few good natural alternatives.

1. Xylitol - "Xylitol is a "toothfriendly" sugar. In addition to not encouraging tooth decay (by replacing dietary sugars), xylitol may actively aid in repairing minor cavities caused by dental caries. Recent research[7] confirms a plaque-reducing effect and suggests that the compound, having some chemical properties similar to sucrose, attracts and then "starves" harmful micro-organisms, allowing the mouth to remineralize damaged teeth with less interruption. (However, this same effect also interferes with yeast micro-organisms and others, so xylitol is inappropriate for making yeast-based bread, for instance.)"

2. Stevia -

3. And my favorite is not a substitute at all, it's the real thing, sugar. Wink
