Does anyone use? Which do you like best?

Not a regular user of artificial sweeteners but have purchased Coke Zero pop, Pepsi Max and Diet Coke. Also have tried some candies sweetened with various sweeteners.

Stevia sweetened pop is ok with Coke Life. I have not tried the current Pepsi Next (saw that it is back in stores this year) but my first taste of it years ago was not favourable (bitter aftertaste).

I'm getting leary of artificial sweeteners. I used to use either Sweet and Low, or Splenda. I was told Splenda was the better between the two. I have since found out that both of these trigger an insulin response anyway. Some of the other alternatives like Xylitor or agave syrup don't trigger an insulin response, but may cause damage to the liver down the road. They've never been tested long term.

Stevia is ground up plant, so I'll drink the soda sweetened with it once in a while, and frankly, I can't really tell the difference from diet soda with aspertame.
