Sweet 'n' Healthy

"Zero-calorie sweeteners don't all deliver equal benefits,
according to research published in Appetite. In a head-to-head
comparison, plant-based stevia reduced blood sugar and insulin
after meals, reducing risk for diabetes, whereas aspartame (used
in artificial sweeteners) did not. Stevia is available in packets
and liquids, with and without natural flavoring."
