Sugar is found naturally in fruit, sugar cane, and sugar beets. Sugar, corn syrup, and other refined sugar make up about 15% of the average diet, but provides no vitamins, minerals, fiber, or protein. It can promote tooth decay, obesity and heart disease.
Artificial sweeteners are getting negative press and most of us know by now that sugar should not be used in excess, the answer to the question which is better artificial sweeteners or sugar, in my opinion let your taste buds lead the way, but remember moderation is key.
