We say: Let’s forget the fake sweet stuff. Artificial sweeteners are purely synthetic compounds that do not exist in nature, and that work by fooling our bodies into believing we are eating sugar. Whole Foods Market doesn’t allow artificial sweeteners in our food, because why mess with a good thing?

I love Stevia. It tastes way better than the chemical sweeteners.

I use molasses and honey and sometimes blue agave syrup.
When making cookies or other sweet baked goods that call for brown sugar, molasses works well. You just have to experiment with the amounts and adjust other liquids in the recipe to account for the liquid sweeteners.

I use Honey Granules to replace white sugar and my family can’t taste the difference in it over white refined sugar.
