Hi, The sweeteners have their disadvantages, they are made of tons of chemicalls, I didn't knew those facts on the link you placed.. Mine is probably one of the worst kind... <br> But when we look at the alternative, I still prefere to take my chances with sweetener than with sugar. <br> Another one who's well reputed is xylitol one, I'll leave you the link here (havent't read it yet, I found it arround 4 am (been awake since 3 am), so my brain wasn't still able to process information...lol) <br> But i'm going to read it now as well. <br> draxe.com/xylitol-side-effects/ <br> www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplement...

just use Honey you will use less of it than sugar as its mainly fructose and tastes sweeter and unlike sugar it only has a small amount of sucrose and has the benefit of antioxidant's

You both should try water, a few drops of lemon, mint leafs or gingerbread slices... let ir infuse for a few hours... and add some sweetener...lol <br>

Nice, natural, herbal beverage, no cals, but sweet (unless you can handle about 1/2 lemon in 500 ml of water...lol)... good luck. Ps: related to Payno and your conversation, the drinks :D <br>

When i was in my early twenties, i used to have two teaspoons of sugar in my tea and " coffee " which i drank more of. <br> Then one day i said to myself, could i cut down on the sugar, so i started by cutting down by about 1/2 teaspoon every few days are so. Within a week are so i stopped having sugar in tea for good but could not go less than 1/2 teaspoon of sugar in coffee, just tasted to strong, then a few years later when i made someone coffee (and vice versa) now and again who did not have sugar i decided to stop having any sugar in coffee all (that 1/2 teaspoon i was stuck on) together. <br> Since then i have " NEVER " had sugar in my brews and i do not crave are ever think about having sugar ever again (in brews that is lol). <br> When just drinking (tea total day lol) brews i have about 8+ a day and that's with glasses of milk and other stuff in between. <br> <br> One level teaspoon of sugar (granulated) weighs 4.2 grams, if you are anything like i was, you do not have a level teaspoon do you, been trying to find out (on the net) what a heaped teaspoon of sugar weighs, all i keep coming across is stuff to do with heaped tablespoons...if you know the weight (ruff idea) of a heaped teaspoon of sugar, could you please post here, thanks in advance. <br> <br> So that means if you have 8+ brews a day x 2 teaspoons of sugar = about 70+ grams aday = about 500 grams (1/2 kilo) a week = 25 kilos (BAGS) of sugar a year, which is 4 stone. <br> <br> So my reason for this post is to see if you can do the same but maybe just one teaspoon less would be good, should you try and succeed at what i have done, are have done this yourself, would you please post here to let others know how long (and hard) it took you to do this. <br> If you are a non member that as succeeded at doing this, please sign up and let everyone know how long it (or by how much you cut down by) took you. ...

@PureVodka🍺 I used to put sugar in the cofee... Sometimes I drank 8 cofees a day.. our sugar packs have 7 to 9 grams of sugar (per pack).. One day I just decided to see how much sugar I eat in cofee only... it was over 1.5 kilos... I stopped putting sugar in my beverages, now, when I want something sweet, I use stevia based sweeteners...
