There is also a sweetener that not many people know about, but it's called Trutina Dulcem. It's made from Kiwi, but is low glycemic. It is a TON sweeter than regular sugar so when using it, you start off with just a sprinkle then go from there. Per gram (weight) it has 1 gram of carbs. But, again, you only use a very small amount so it winds up being about the same as granular splenda in the long run. Anyway, they have a website (trutinadulcem.com) if you interested.
I don't dislike splenda, but agree that it does have a slight aftertaste. Trutina doesn't at all, IMO.
Good luck. Jill
P.S. I thought Stevia was pretty rank and had a major aftertaste. For some reason it reminded me of black licorice, which I hate. But if you want to try it, it's in most major health food stores as opposed to buying trutina only online.
