Which one is the least harmful? I need something for my oatmeal. Thanks!

I just get whatever, but I have had to cut waaaaay back. The best way I could do that was to not eat or drink the stuff I was using it with. I was so addicted to it that I was going through about 20 packets a day. Plus it made me hungry for sweet stuff all day, and who knows what it's been doing to my kidneys. The closest I get to it now is my sugar-free Jello and popsicles.

I hear the best is Stevia, most natural. I am trying to stay away too, makes me hungry

I use Stevia. I pretty much only use 1 packet in my morning coffee though, so I don't know if it would make much difference what I used!

Stevia, if you don't have access to a health food store for the higher quality. Swerve is in walmart and it is pretty good.

Isn't a bit of honey the best sweetener or a bit of brown sugar?

I have read that these sweeteners are worst than granulated sugar.

I try to get stevia products when possible. I've heard of flavored liquid drops stevia, but not sure of the brand. Anyone heard of this? Sweet Leaf, I think. Not sure which brand tastes the best, but I'd be interested to know.

Stevia is okay, if you aren't allergic to ragweed. They are in the same family and trigger my hives. There is also a BIG difference between stevia herb you get from the healthful store and the white, processed stuff they sell in the market. I use either dried cranberries, a tsp of raw honey or real maple syrup. It's about finding a balance. I no longer pile loads of sugar in things, so on the rare occasion I have something like oatmeal, I have the real thing in a smaller dose.
