For me it is always the pink stuff or honey. I think the rest taste funny.

I agree. Its nasty. And Equal is not much better.

Sugar, with my hot drinks

Honey, sugar, or nothing. No artificial sweeteners.

 

[80KGold]

Pure cane sugar for me.

High fructose corn syrup, anyone?

What exactly are we sweetening?

 

[Lube]

I never ever use artificial sweeteners. I don't drink diet soda (or any soda, generally).

Honey & raw cane sugar are the only sweeteners I use, generally for baking, tea, home-made hot chocolate (2% milk + unsweetened cocoa powder + real vanilla), and cereal (Irish hot oats or unsweetened shredded wheat).

So specific! God I sound gay.

Depends on the dish.
When I sweeten cereal, a little white sugar for convenience.
Brown Sugar or Maple Syrup for some things e.g. whole grain muffins, pancakes, waffles,
Occasionally Honey - it tends to turn to hard sugar in the bottle on us, because we don't use a lot of sweetener other than baking.

Don't care for the artificials at all - might use fruit or preserves, spreads for some, too.

Refined sugar converts to fat or helps fat be converted IN YOUR BLOOD STREAM. So you could be thin and not even know you are going to have a heart attack/stroke (obv in bad cases).

I avoid processed/refined etc foods at all cost.

 

[LilBit]

Honey or raw sugar, depending on what I'm sweetening. Every now and then I'll use half raw sugar, half Splenda.

 

[Beachguyj]

Sweet n Low is nasty and tastes like the cancer that it will give you.

Equal tastes good and so does Splenda...they are similar.

I was at a place that had free coffee but only S&L or sugar. I used sugar, but after 6 packets (for one cup) it still wasn't sweet. One Equal would have done the job.

 

[DonQuixote]

You really wouldn't like my java - French Roast, Bold and Black, straight up, just like it was meant to be! lol
(I've gotten pretty tolerant on coffee - I'll even drink it half frozen, leftover in my travel mug in the car from the night before!)

 

[Yooper]

I generally use Cane Sugar, either white or brown depending on what's cookin'

I used to like the liquid stuff (Sucaryl?) in Iced Tea but haven't seen it in years.

I also use honey in some things, and Maple Syrup and Maple Sugar in some things.

I prefer cane sugar over Beet sugar although my Grandmother thought the other way around (could be my Grandparents grew Sugar Beets for many years).

And whomever invented HFCS should be taken out behind the barn and shot.

 

[DonQuixote]

I think Sucaryl was cyclamates - like Tab used to be - got deep-sixed as a carcinogen, I believe. But it was sweet and didn't have as much of an aftertaste as saccharin.

The Corn Industry, with the backing of the US Gov't, made it almost impossible to use real cane sugar (Cuban embargo's) instead of HFCS. I don't drink much pop/soda, so I avoid a good chunk of it.
