Are artificial sweeteners bad for diabetics and/or do they even adversely affect blood sugar?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chemical sweeneners: can be toxic to the brain. You are better off using a natural root product called "Stevia." It is very sweet so you need very little and the manufacturers say it does not raise blood sugar. Check w/doc first. Peace and good health.
