I keep skimming through my Atkins book...he tells you what type of sweetners not to use...well, I found out today that the sweetner I use is wrong becasue it's main ingredient ends with ---ose....like dextrose..or something like that...I've been using Sweet and Low. I can't find this stuff called splenda...so what others are the right artificial sweetners?
Help....I don't know what to put in my (decaf) coffee in the morning.

Hi Cheryl and welcome!

If you click right here you will go to a terrific article all about the different artificial sweeteners (or "AS" as we like to call them ) that exist. Our very own Doreen is responsible for the article and it's quite comprehensive.

I used to use sugar in my coffee, until I started low carbing. Then try as I might, I couldn't find an AS that I like the flavour of! I can tell aspartame at 10 paces So I eventually did what I NEVER thought I could do - and started drinking my coffee with heavy cream only. I've been doing that for well over a year now.
