Great article. I noticed that you said Splenda has high carbs, but according to the nutirtion facts on the bag, it has less than 1 carb per teaspoon. I have been seriously considering not using Splenda but I am getting mixed reviews. One, it is the most affordable, two there is no aftertaste (to me) and three, it works well in baking which is what I like. All the others sugar replacements are so expensive, I have to decide how much I want something sweet. I am considering Erythritol, as I really don't like stevia even in it's liquid form. Is Swerve as the powdered form okay? Thank you for all of your information to help us make wise decisions.
