I have a question about SA's. I know of maltitol but not so much of the others. What are they? Is sucralose considered an SA? Are there any 'treats' out there that don't use SAs? Has anyone tried using Stevia? How does that compare?

no sucralose is NOT an SA. it is splenda without the fillers. i use it in cooking and baking and find that it is better than stevia in the sense that you can use more of it without fearing bitterness. however, with both sucralose and stevia, you need to dilute them first (in water) to make sure they disperse through your food since both are very concentrated powders which will make a small part very sweet and the rest not sweet if not infused well. hth!
