I have found using a half packet of refined stevia sweetener actually
tastes better than using a whole packet- it avoids the bitter aftertaste.
Still, I think the combo of Splenda + Eridex tastes the best, at least in
the coffee syrup I have tried. I would like to find a "table sugar" type
Splenda-Eridex combo. Or even Eridex on it's own.
One problem with many artificial or substitute sweeteners is the lack of
bulk- they are just too sweet per gram, and they don't contribute to the
syrupy texture that real sugar has.
I don't really like aspartame now days, it tastes fake and there are
better sweeteners. But products are still using it. Saccharin tasted
better, but the healthscare about it drove people to the, IMO, inferior
aspartame.
