Hills of Death (HOD) Aug 2012 9:39am, 23 Aug 2012 27,465 posts	0 Hills of Death (HOD) I've heard (so it must be true ) that Sweetner can be worse for you than sugar. I.e that the comments of this in say diet drinks and artificial sweetner can cause weight 'gain' and other problems. Is there any evidence of this or just a general misnoma 'Discuss'

I use Stevia 0 calories and made from a leaf ( supposed to be 100% natrual ) only downside is it's wickedly expensive. Asphetamine sweetners give you the shits if you eat a lot of them lol!

I use good old sugar. I have tried some of that weird truvia leaf based stuff. It's ok. But nothing beats proper sugar in tea...
