Wow. I'm diabetic, and I've been putting that shit in my coffee every morning for the last two years. Is there a sweetener that [i]is[/i] safe?

I really don't know and can't say, but found some info for you if you wish to read a bit about this and come to some decisions.

Stevia is the only one I know about.

Instead of Chemical Sweeteners available in the market, a Natural Sweetener derived from natural sources is good for diabetics.

Stevia is believed to be by far the best sweetener for diabetics. It is derived from a herb Stevia rebaudiana native to subtropical and tropical South America and Central America. It is commonly known as sweet leaf, sweet leaf or sugar leaf. Its extracts are 300 times sweeter than sugar. It is 100% natural and perfectly safe for diabetics. It is as low on calories as all the artificial sweeteners. It is also stable for cooking and baking. It is consumed as natural sweetener by diabetics in Japan, France and different Asian and European countries.

However, the FDA has not yet approved Stevia as a Sweetener and Food Additive due to political controversies. It is said that if Stevia is approved by the FDA as a Sweetener, it will not only put a full stop on all the chemical sweeteners but also adversely affect the refined sugar industry. This why it is approved only as a Dietary Supplement.

This looked like a good article to read:

I would say give up the sweet stuff in the coffee.  I did many years ago.  I only take milk or creme with my coffee and after a while I couldn't stand any sweet coffee.

Original Message Stay away fro all artificial sweeteners if you wish good health. Go with Raw brown sugar or honey if you have a sweet tooth.

There's also a video included in the post about how consumers have been deceived about this sweetener.

It's all about the money and not the best for the consumers.
