I don't like Equal [it tastes too chemical and weak,] not to mention Aspartame gives me Headaches. I won't touch it with a 10 foot pole. Splenda is great, but the packets and granular contain Maltodextrin [like all other Fillered Sweeteners,] which I generally try to avoid, so I usually use Stevia instead. I sometimes use liquid Saccharin or Brown Sugar Twin [Saccharin,] though. I sometimes [when I run out of KAL Brand Stevia] mix liquid Saccharin with the weaker [compared to KAL Brand] NOW Brand Stevia to get an acceptable sweetness. Stevia has a taste which can vary from brand to brand and some folks don't like it. As for Sweet-N-Low, that's made from Saccharin. Saccharin has a unique aftertaste. I kinda like the Saccharin aftertaste, but I grew up with Saccharin. My dad used it, many times mixed with Sugar [Sucrose,] to make Ice Tea. I also like how it blends with Cinnamon, though some folks hate it.
