Re: What is better for you?
they say the fake sugar is supposed to be bad for you because it causes your body to crave even more...... but, i still use it because i drink at least 2 cups of coffee a day.

Re: What is better for you?
I use sugar bc i hear that splender is not that good for you.
If you get migraines, artificial sweeteners can make it worse I've heard. Also, they can make you hungrier becuase your body expects to be satisfied with the sugar rush and then when it doesn't get it, it does something to your insulin.
IMO, sugar is natural and therefore better for you as long as you don't use too much. Or if you're drinking tea, try honey. I don't use sugar at all in my tea though.

I always use splenda but i've been trying to use less artificial sweetners lately in everything I eat or drink. It's not as good for you as its made out to be.

I have been using Equal for years. I have never had side effects, migraines, hunger etc from using it.

Re: What is better for you?
I use splenda once in a blue moon, I generally use only milk in my coffee and honey in my tea.

Re: What is better for you?
sugar is better for you, but neither is good.
basically, when you intake sugar, your body produces insulin to break down the glucose. increases in insulin lay on fat.
when you intake artificial sweeteners, your body produces insulin because your body thinks you took in glucose (sugar), but since artificial sweeteners arent glucose (they are usually some combination of proteins/amino acids), the insulin has nothing to break down. therefore the insulin remains in your blood stream indefinitely, laying on fat for even longer then it would with sugar. also, using large amounts of insulin for no reason may be a cause of type II diabetes.
hth! if you have anymore questions, fm me.

I agree! I started using Stevia after I read that book skinny b!tch. Its really not that bad and I did loose a few lbs from not using sooo much sugar. I buy it at Trader Joes.

Re: What is better for you?
I used splenda. I LOVEE the way it tastes in my coffee. But not every coffee place always has it so then I used equal. Sweet N Low is too sweet for me and sugar I need to use like 10 packets to even taste any sweetness.
