What Are The Uses And Side Effects Of Using Sugar Substitute?

Do sugar substitutes have negative health effects? What sugar substitute is the most healthy? I have been using splenda for years but family and friends have advised it is not healthy - side effects as joint problems may occur. Can you verify if splenda is bad for your health? If so, what are the effects of using splenda. Does truvia cause health problems. Lastly, what is the most recommended sugar substitute. Thank You

Regarding your request for any healthy sugar substitute I am suggesting that Honey is really the best reason due to it is naturally products made from bee

Regarding whether splenda is good Actually I have not used splenda and since you are using it and no joint pain so far you can continue

Concerning truvia I am very sure it is a very good product with minimal side effects

I hope this helps
