Have you tried monk fruit sweetner? It is natural & 0 calorie.
I use turbinando & organic unprocessed sugar. I don't do anything artificial & very careful with foods that have any chemicals added. I mostly stick with organic or pure foods from my neighbor farms & dairy & bee keepers. Been so much healthier since making these life changes. Only soda I drink is crafted root beer & only about 1/3 of a bottle a day when I have it in the house
