They are not necessarily "healthier substitutes" despite the marketing copy. Just to be clear, raw sugar and agave (like honey) are still sugar.

I prefer raw sugar, I had used and preferred Splenda in the past. My latest is stevia with sugar (hadn't liked the stevia by itself). Next I want to try agave nectar next. I keep hearing Splenda is "bad" and didn't realize it caused gastric problems. After trying stevia I find Splenda too "sweet" and it started tasting medicinal to me!

I tried some of that new stevia-based sweetener the other day, and it wasn't bad -- maybe a little too sweet. Not sure what they do to it in the extraction process, but hopefully it's a little closer to natural. More importantly, Splenda is disgusting.

For a 90kg person, 1000 mg/kg is roughly 3.17oz of Splenda. One packet is 0.035oz. 90+ packets a day?? Is my math right? For a 90kg person, 1000 mg/kg is roughly 3.17oz of Splenda.
