Dear /fit/,

What should I use to sweeten my tea/coffee that isn't sugar, sucralose or aspartame? ITT alternative sweeteners and the pro's and con's that go with them.

I like Sweet and Low, personally. It's Saccharin, dextrose and cream of tartar. It's believed to cause bladder cancer when consumed in extremely high doses with another sweetener, cyclamate.

Honey and agave nectar are good, but they have a lot of calories, especially the latter. Honey is really good for you, though.

"There is some concern about the health effects of fructose, since Agave has a fructose content much higher than high-fructose corn syrup. Due to its fructose content and the fact that the glycemic index only measures glucose levels, agave syrup is notable in that its glycemic index and glycemic load are lower than many other natural sweeteners on the market.

No negative side affects to aspartame.
