I really cannot imagine the artificial ones are any better than just taking

the real thing, especially if a person only does it occasionally and in

moderation.

There are also natural fruit sweeteners and juices that can add extra

sweetness. A squeeze of orange can do wonders, lol. Cheri

I've been on a low carb diet for over 30 years. It didn't protect me from

the dangers of

artificial sweeteners.

We use Xylitol for my daughter. Just make sure and get the kind made from birch

bark, it

tastes the best and doesn't cause GI problems.

actually good for

teeth. You wouldn't want to use large amounts as it would cause loose bowels in

some, but

you might want to look it up if you can't find it in stores.
