The 10 Best and Worst Sweeteners

Not all sugar alternatives are created equal

It's common knowledge that too much sugar is a bad thing. But that doesn't mean that all of the "natural" alternatives are any better for you. Take agave nectar, for example. Even though you can find them in health stores, it's best to keep them out of your cart. Why? Because many agave nectars consist of 70 to 90 percent fructose—more than what's found in high-fructose corn syrup! "Agave nectar is probably one of the worst sweeteners on the market, and it's deceptive because it's been marketed as a healthy alternative," says nutritionist Jonny Bowden, PhD. "Everybody thinks it's a health food." Here are 10 of the best and worst sweeteners in the supermarket—and remember to use all of them in moderation.

I was really surprised to read that about Splenda. I don't like it but my husband loves it.

Bloody nonsense - Rodale might be a good source of info on "organic" gardening, but not for health information.

Lies, half-truths, flawed studies mixed with just enough facts to make it seem legit. Ugh. Did you see the part where they said raw honey was good for burns as well as your blood sugar?

Exactly. This list is crap and full of inaccurate information.

I'm just as confused, just the other day on Dr. Oz show, some nutritionist said Agave is fine. I guess, well maybe once again in Moderation...

This list is crap. It gets posted from time to time. It is full of inaccurate and incorrect info as I've posted elsewhere. Sucralose and aspartame have been thoroughly studied and are perfectly safe, nobody panic.
