What is your favourite artificial sweetener? I have listed several here, and saccharin is actually my preferred taste. If your favourite isn't listed, pick the "Some Other Artificial Sweetener" option. If you only like real sugar, there's an option for that, too.

Most artificial sweeteners make me feel sick.

I must use Equal in my coffee. It just doesn't taste the same without it. I always carry some in my purse just in case.

My mom loves Splenda. I don't care much for the diet drinks with Splenda, they are too sweet.

When I lived in the South and drank iced tea I liked to use Sweet n Low but I don't drink iced tea much anymore. Hot tea without any type of sweetner is good.

My friend uses this herbal or health kind of sweetner but I forget the name of it. I will have to ask.

I was nosing around at the local grocery yesterday when I noticed that they have little jars of saccharin tablets. :arrow: 1000 tablets, 1 grain each in weight, $7.

I don't use that cancer powder. btw you should have added an option for honey because some people use that.

I've added a link above for anyone that might be unaware like the FDA was :wink:

That's the best alternative to sugar - also excellent in full flavored iced teas

Well, I really felt like honey was off-topic since it's a poll about artificial sweeteners. Maybe instead, I should've been more general, saying "natural sweeteners" instead of "sugar".

I drink sweetened coffee and tea and both are with real sugar. The only time that I use an artificial sweetener is in this instance: If you put a pack of Splenda in a Pepsi, then the Pepsi tastes vanilla-y. I use honey and raw sugar (you know the little brown packs at Starbucks, that's "raw sugar", or something with a name of the sort) in coffee. I like sugar.

Amen to that! Love honey in tea. Green tea with honey... mmm.

Aaah yes honey is fantastic! So devine. Wonderful as a sweetner in tea, and smoothies. Love it.

Stevia takes some getting used to when you've been drinking black coffee with equal for years.
