I don't consume artificial sweeteners because they make me sick.

You don't consume artificial sweeteners because they don't give you Watusi energy.

We are not the same.

    Have you tried Xylitol? It's technically a sugar but it doesn't whack out your blood sugar level because it's digested differently. Bonus: it's good for your teeth, because bacteria in your mouth recognize it chemically as a sugar so they absorb it, but then they can't process it so they die. I've been using it in place of regular sugar for years with no ill effects.

    Xylitol can cause diarrhea in some people.

    So as long as you're not one of those people you're okay.

    Xylitol was recently in the news for a study that linked it to higher risk of heart attack and stroke, so there's that.

    I tried some xylitol gum some years back that made me feel unwell, although that might have been because of some other ingredients that I've since realized I'm sensitive to. But based on my generally-poor reaction to artificial sweeteners, I try to stick with plant-based alternatives, like stevia and monkfruit... or just plain old regular sugar.
