I respect everyone's own food choices, but I sincerely hope you aren't doing this based on some unsubstantiated pop-culture belief that sweeteners give you cancer.

It's only RATS who get cancer from SweetNLow.....but I would like to get off of them, also....however, I am addicted to the pink things, been using them all my adult life......we'll see.....I think there may be something to it, gosh knows nothing can taste as sweet as three packets of the pinks in your coffee.....Susan, NEVER QUITS

My hubby uses 4 packets, I use 2.

I've gone off sugar twin in the past and found that at first I needed 4 sugar cubes in my coffee for it to taste good, then after a few days 3 was enough, then 2, then one, but right now I don't have any spare calories to work with.

When I'm at goal I'm likely going to ditch it too.

Hey Donna, I'm interested in your reasons (and if you have posted them earlier, so sorry I missed it!).  I don't use them either, but I am a non-conforming sleeve gal, re-addicted to sugar and crap food.  Even before I fell into the pit of crap, though, I quit the artificial sweeteners ... well, all except for (Newbies, don't read this!!!) Coke Zeros.  I drink waaaaay too many of them, and they are nothing but good-tasting poison in a bottle.  After I recover completely from my spinal surgery back in the summer and get my complete life back, the CZs are one of my next battles.  Just haven't had the energy to tackle that addiction yet ... probably because I drink too many CZs and eat too much crap, HA!!

Hi Dorothy,

Well I was watching a PVR Dr.Oz, and it was about the sweeteners and the different things it can do...Like belly fat, low blood sugar and can give you more sugar cravings! So, I though cold turkey and lets see what it does!!
