What Sweeteners Do You Use?

There’s no doubt that most of us love to use sweeteners in some of our foods. I’ll admit, I love cookies, candies and ice cream. I wish I didn’t! The ice cream is something I consider especially bad for me so I go very easy on it.

Recently I did an extensive overview of various types of sweeteners that people put in their foods. I tried to include all sweeteners but I know there are a few I have yet to add to the project which I posted at Natural and Artificial Sweeteners. I hope you have time to take a look at it. The report includes illustrations and videos that I believe are worth considering.

What we put into our bodies is one of the most important issues we’ll ever deal with. I’ve used chemical sweeteners in the past and am sorry I did. Now I use natural sweeteners. My favorite is maple syrup!

Sweeteners I included in my report are:

Artificial
Cyclamate
Saccharin
Sucralose
Sorbitol
Aspartame
Natural
Cane or Sugar Beet Sugar
Raw Cane Sugar
Corn Syrup
Crystalline Fructose
Agave Nectar
Maple Syrup
Stevia
Honey
Date Sugar
Fruit Juice

I’m working on including Rice Syrup. Am I forgetting anything else?

Hi, my name is Linda. This is my personal home and hearth journal.

I am a self-trained herbal practitioner. I became a vegetarian when I was a teenager in the 1960s. I was a San Francisco Bay Area hippie in the 60s and early 70s. Then I became a mom - the most important job I've ever had.

Now I live in a very small mountain community. The nearest fast food restaurant is more than forty miles during summer, and more than seventy miles in winter when the pass is snowed under. I've never owned a cell phone, but I talked on one once.
