I’m skeptical about the safety of sugar replacement compounds. I’d rather just have less sugar or no sugar/sweetner.

I don’t like sugar replacements I think they are artificial and are not the best for us… I would rather have the real thing in a smaller quantity I just think there are so many fake things in our diets now I know I feel better when I eat clean, and unprocessed.

some of them are worse than products with sugar. they still have a sweetness that isn’t good for you – look at the overall nutritional value and compare the benefits of the sugar and the sweetness

SOmetimes you just want that bit of sweetness, but i never use sugar. I will use a little bit of honey or maple syrup (Still sugar but at least it’s natural and not completely devoid of nutrients). If there is a recipe that calls for a lot of sugar i will often use xylitol. Never stevia as i can’t stand the taste. When baking for my toddlers i will always try to use banana as the sweetener, possibly with honey, or homemade apple sauce.

There are plenty of good books available on sugar and alternatives if you want to research further.

We do not add a lot of sugar to foods but do eat sugar – all things in moderation.
Prefer sugar over sweeteners.

I prefer it to be removed from foods rather than replaced with something artificial

I’d prefer it removed, rather than replaced.

I personally don’t have drinks with lots of sugar, I like my tea with milk, maybe try tea
