Have you tried stevia? This is natural and the FDA refuses to approve it as a sweetener. For me that is a good recommendation.

If you have a dog, xylitol is toxic, so be careful.

Has anyone tried erythritol as a calorie free sweetener? Looks interesting, expecially since it is not artificial, but a naturally occurring sweetner.

Marshall,
I don't think there's any "free ride" with sweeteners. Dr. Jerry Tennant says to avoid all sweeteners with "tol" in them, and I tend to agree with him. They are toxic to the body.

I do use xylitol, however, as a mouthwash.
