I've been having that conversation with hubbie for months now. I want him to stop using Splenda. I forget which scientific study finally convinced him... but he did finally quit. I was using maple sugar (crystalized maple syrup) for a while, because it's all natural (it's just boiled to remove water, unlike sugar, which is "processed") and contains trace elements that are healthy for you. But cutting out all sweeteners is better still. That's HARD though.
