Since I'm pretty much a no sugar or as little as possible person I am always looking for artificial sweeteners. Splenda upsets my stomach so there's no way I can use that...trust me, you wouldn't want to be in the same room as me. I read in my book, Skinny Bitch, that sweet and low (or any artificial sweeteners for that matter are not good for you) because they contain aspartame. Aspartame is a poison to our bodies which can cause cancers, seizures, and even death. Well what's a girl to do? Everything I eat is sugar-free because my body just cannot handle sugar - instantly I gain. I was so excited last year when I started seeing PureVia and Truvia on my grocery store's shelves. They're "claim to fame" is that they're natural; taken from the leaves of a stevia plant. Even better it does not have any calories, nor does it increase your blood sugar level, and it actually tastes sweet! Unfortunately I did some research and while these "natural sugars" have been permitted for decades overseas, up until recently, the FDA had banned them in America. Large, rich American corporations have had a hand in altering these two sugars and one can't help but wonder if an influence in money helped encourage the FDA to finally approve them...
