Is there any natural sweetener very safe for people on diet ?

Pure stevia, Xylitol: Whole stevia leaf appears to be a safe sweetener but many stevia extracts have dangerous additives- see http://www.Livescience.Com/39601-stevia-facts-safety.Html ; http://bit.Ly/1fxyckb another relatively safe option is xylitol, but make sure it comes from non-gmo corn: see http://www.Thecandidadiet.Com/stevia-vs-xylitol/ ; http://www.Olsonnd.Com/question-what-about-stevia-and-xylitol/.

Sugar: Use sugar in moderation. Very small amounts. It may take some getting used to but its the safest sweetener on the market.
