Preferred Kind of Sugar?

***VamPyroX*** · 08-18-2009, 12:16 AM

When you add sugar to your drink (tea, coffee, etc.), which do you prefer?

- PINK (aka Sweet & Low)
- BLUE (aka Equal)
- YELLOW (aka Splenda)
- WHITE (aka regular sugar)
- OTHER (whatever)

**sequoias** · 08-18-2009, 12:20 AM

I like regular sugar.

Oceanbreeze · 08-18-2009, 12:23 AM

I prefer Splenda, but I'll also use Equal. Sometimes, (rarely) I'll use real sugar.

***VamPyroX*** · 08-18-2009, 12:38 AM

I like PINK. It tastes better. It also dissolves best. BLUE is alright. YELLOW is more than sweet. WHITE doesn't dissolve very well.

If the restaurant were to served sweetened tea, then I'll go for that since they usually add sugar when it's hot which makes the sugar dissolve very well.

sara1981 · 08-18-2009, 01:32 AM

i do like pink and blue whether brand for sugar put in coffee makes taste

my grandma always drink equal all the times

Frisky Feline · 08-18-2009, 04:41 AM

ha most of time, i dont add anything in it if i have to, then the regular sugar. I used to love the pink one. I stopped taking it.

stefan2832 · 08-18-2009, 05:56 AM

Don't take sugar in my tea/coffee but I can't live without white sugar
on my cornflakes!

Does that count???

dogmom · 08-18-2009, 06:24 AM

"other" - don't use refined sugar at all and certainly <for me> no synthetic substitutes. I try to eat as whole and unrefined as possible much of the time. Most of the things I make don't require sweetener <burgers for husband and that kinda thing > and I don't bake. With things like soups and condiments and other things that would normally have sugar already in them, I read labels and don't buy products with refined sugar.
We have some refined white sugar in the house only for when my husband makes cookies - but I haven't used sugar <or salt>in anything I cook for years. I use very little sweeteners of any kind in things I make but when I do I use either raw agave, or Eden organic barley malt for things like hot cereal, pancakes and the like, but not very much- most of the time I add natural spices to bring out the natural taste of the grain and add some extra flavor. And stevia for my coffee on the rare occasions I have it, if I'm out somewhere - we don't have way for me to make coffee at home and I don't wanna buy a coffeemaker or anything like that. Hubby likes raw honey on his oatmeal which we get from local beekeeper.

PowerON · 08-18-2009, 08:52 AM

I like natural raw brown sugar cane

**Bottesini** · 08-18-2009, 09:58 AM

I voted Splenda since it is supposed to be the heathiest of the artificial sweeteners.

**Pepsi** · 08-18-2009, 10:38 AM

I don't use surgar in my tea but once in awhile and when i do its white.

**Foxrac** · 08-18-2009, 10:41 AM

Regular sugar

MoonDrifter · 08-18-2009, 12:36 PM

that stuff from soda, I'm not too fond of it. I prefer the pink sugar from my girlfriend. It's the best flavor ever.

Sweet & Low.....yum

Hutt5asl · 08-18-2009, 05:00 PM

Definitely White. I've heard of problems with too much of the artificial sweeteners, including High Fructose Corn Syrup (like in soda) which my husband is allergic to.

JamieLynn · 08-19-2009, 01:48 PM

No sugar at all

jazzy · 08-19-2009, 05:09 PM

I use stevia in most of my food and tea if I want to.

HorseRace · 08-19-2009, 06:15 PM

i vote other.. i prefer use stevia, raw sugar (which it is not refined sugar). that it.. all others were refined sugar, fake sugar, chemical sugar , blah.. no good..

**LDNanna** · 08-19-2009, 08:32 PM

Turbinado, raw sugar, unrefined natural sugar, honey or agave syrup. If I must have hwhite sugar I prefer cane sugar to beet sugar. It is finer and dissolves faster. Lucky here we have local honey seller. He has good natural flavors like mesquite, huisache, horehound, cotton blossom from local flowers and herbs. You can taste the difference. So good. Very nice, very elderly man who has own bee hives.

**Foxrac** · 08-19-2009, 09:30 PM

What about high fructose corn syrup? It's nasty sugar that used for soda and juice, not most cold.

HorseRace · 08-19-2009, 09:34 PM

foxrac, yea it is very bad sugar.. it causes the fat stucked in your body.. and that sugar convert to fat..

Brian · 08-19-2009, 09:56 PM

I voted PINK. It tastes better than the rest on the list.

Kuifje75 · 08-20-2009, 11:05 AM

Turbinado or cane sugar

web730 · 08-21-2009, 02:29 PM

I use raw brown sugar and love it mixing in with coffee. It's healthier and tastes better.

I rarely use natural white sugar. Avoid those sweetners and Splenda - all are bad!

It's the ones I usually buy at Walmart and Target's. Right now I need one! lol

PePe LePew · 08-21-2009, 03:27 PM

Organic raw sugar of any kinds and Stevia

All the rest of the sugar like sweet n low, splenda, equal and nutrasweet contained chemcials.

other

PePe LePew · 08-21-2009, 03:29 PM

Exactly and thats why me and my family refused to use sweetners and splenda and many others that contained chemcials. My sister and my mom took health class suggested how bad these sweetners are. It is bad for people!

I use those white sugars because to me, it tastes better than any of those others on the lists. Those artificial sweeteners to me seems as if it was a bit too tart.

**Foxrac** · 08-21-2009, 07:16 PM

Why does refined sugars are sold on market at majority than raw sugars?

I really like raw brown sugar too. I also like it mixed with cinnamon.

Peachy Lady · 08-21-2009, 08:49 PM

I use Stevia because it is made from herb plant called Stevia and is healthy.
