People keep harping about how bad Refined Sugar is for you. Well but what tastes as good as white sugar in Tea.

Honey has a after taste or smells, and its not sweet enough in Tea. I don’t like any thing Synthetic like Splenda or LowAndSweet or the Blue thing.

Thanks for the Answers

Stivia, which you can find in your Natural Foods store like Whole Foods or Trader Joes. You can also look into using honey, but studies have also shown that comparatively, honey is no different than white sugar. Balance is the best course of action and using the natural sugars of foods to sweeten items, such as applesauce.

There are new Suncrystals and then......


If your relationship with sugar has soured, take heart: These three alternatives can help.........

* Stevia is extracted from a South American herb that is 100 to 400 times sweeter than conventional white sugar. It's available in powders and liquid extracts in the supplement section of most natural product stores. One teaspoon of stevia is equal to about one cup of sugar. Use it carefully--too much yields a bitter aftertaste. Why it's better: Stevia is calorie-free, doesn't upset blood sugar and can actually assist in regulating blood-sugar levels.

* Date sugar, not really a sugar at all, is made from ground, dehydrated dates, so it contains all the vitamins, minerals and fiber found in the fruit. It can be used in equal parts for sugar in most recipes, especially baking, and is a great substitute for brown sugar. However, because the tiny pieces won't dissolve, it can't be used to sweeten beverages. Why it's better: Unlike refined or concentrated sweeteners, date sugar is rich in nutrients and is metabolized more slowly.

* Agave nectar is a natural juice extracted from agave, the same plant that's processed into tequila. Agave nectar is 42 percent sweeter than white sugar but has the same caloric value and a low glycemic index (11), a measurement of the relative ability of a carbohydrate to raise blood glucose levels. It can be substituted in equal parts for honey in most recipes. As a substitute for sugar, use 3/4 cup agave nectar for 1 cup of sugar, and reduce the liquid content by 1/4 cup. Why it's better: Agave nectar is metabolized more slowly and is less likely to cause dramatic fluctuations in blood sugar.

Stevia's great. If you don't medically need to avoid sugar, however, use a less-refined sugar and use less of it. That would be your best choice. Refined white sugar really is a natural ingredient. It is not chemically produced. It is 'refined' by having the molasses removed to make it white.

Squirrels, birds, mice, and so on. dogs if stuck quick sufficient would nicely be kept (might want to take them to the vet). Cats are lifeless in the journey that they drink it.

if you have to use sugar use Stivia.....but it would be so much healthier for you to try not to use Sugar at all.
Sugar, like Salt is an acquired taste. You can get used to drinking tea without sweetener.
Perhaps you could use less sweetener, say once a week....pretty soon you won't miss it.
I did.
Think healthy.

Sugar Cane is the source of sugar in many countries. Actually is sweeter, so you don't need much. I love it.
