I used to be a sugaraholoc who is now, surprise!, borderline diabetic; therefore, I have gotten to know a few of the newer low impact table sugar substitutes. While Splenda is sweet and is cheap, it is not very natural with the chlorine added etc. I won't hesitate to use while out at a restaurant if they have it, but for home use I wanted something more natural for the long term health benefits. Sweet and Low is very sweet, but who needs the whole chemical trip, right? Agave is natural, but high impact (low compared to table sugar, but still nowhere near these sugar substitutes).
Truvia finds the perfect balance. It seems to be the safest for the long term while keeping the impact almost trivial. It has a very nice flavor, I can eat it right out of the pouch, or on top of stawberries and other fruits. It sweetens my daily tea and coffee with no alteration to the tea or coffee flavor--that's vital,--and it comes in these packets that make using the sweetner easy to moderate and measure.
Give yourself a little time to get used to Truvia, and remind yourself of the benefits of it compared to the others, and I think you may find it to be the best of all of the low impact table sugar substitutes, of which you won't have to feel guilty eating and enjoying.
