It seems they all suck. Surolose was recently found to cause cancer.

Sucrose causes diabetes.

Maybe the answer is to learn to not need sweet tasting things or learn to eat less of them per sitting no matter the sweetness source.

Stevia seems to be the only one with a near perfect record… for now.

Basically learn to eat veggies.

That is the answer. I never eat sweets. After a while too much sweetness just tastes sickly.

My spouse makes fun of me because most of the things I like to eat taste like cardboard. This is why.

Sugar is cancer food.

If you have cancer, and you go to the doctor and they want to amp the cancer up so they can medically image it most clearly before removal or treatment, they give you glucose. Which is sugar.

Which makes sense, because it requires no metabolism chain to use unlike starches or protein, sugar is energy ready to use for any bacteria or microorganism that wants it. That's why people get an instant burst of energy when they eat a bunch of sugar. But that's also why it feeds cancer and why foods that take longer to metabolize are better for you in general.
