You might try Stevia because it's all natural. It's a plant that's been used in South America for a very very long time to sweeten things. You can even grow the plant in a pot at home to use as you need it. It's 200 times sweeter than sugar. Stevia is a perennial herb growing up to 1m tall, Stevia is a member of the daisy family. The leaves are mid green and intensely sweet.

I found some stevia seeds at Walmart near the flower and veggy seeds. You can also order the plant itself, at some places online.

It's also been used in Japan for about 20 years now with no problems. Unlike the headaches that NutraSweet causes.

NutraSweet turns to formaldehyde in the blood stream.

Splenda I did some searching on Google, and turns out there are some bad things posted about Splenda as well. Sucralose is produced by chlorinating sugar (sucrose). This involves chemically changing the structure of the sugar molecules by substituting three chlorine atoms for three hydroxyl groups. (hey, isn't chlorine dangerous to the human body?)
