Sugar and Substitutes

Most of everything in our house is sugar-free. We have all assortments, from "No Sugar Added" to "Sweetened with Splenda." I will be the first to agree that it doesn't always taste like the real thing, but this is just another compromise that we make in our house to be healthy.
I do, however, recognize that there are many people out there who do not believe that anything artificial (like Splenda, Sweet and Low, etc.) is good for the body. The best advice I can give is to do what you think will work best for your body. To help you make those decisions, we found an article that ranks the most common sweeteners along the Glycemic Index.

Find what type of sweeteners will work for you, but remember to always use moderation.
