But does it have calories or not?
The issue I see is things that provide "sweetness" but have no calories.
They can (and do) trigger an insulin response, but nothing for the
insulin to act on. Hence, they tilt toward increasing insulin resistance
(the main problem in type 2 diabetes).
Type 2 diabetes was practically non-existent prior to the last few
decades, which coincides with the proliferation of artificial sweeteners
in all things "food".

In all fairness, stevia isn't artificial at all, it's made from a

Stevia still has the weird fake sugar taste for me, although I
have had it on some sodas and it wasn't terrible. I just drink
the flavored soda water and iced tea - I don't have much of a
sweet tooth though. Oh, and tequila, I drink plenty of that.

I don't care so much about sucralose it was just part of the

for health in those with a sweet tooth.

Not sure if I am more worried about A1C or getting mad

that upon my children.

Stevia actually doesn't. What you're talking is about an
artificial sweetener spiking an insulin response due to
it containing carbohydrates.
"study performed
<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19221011>in human
volunteers demonstrated that infusions of sucralose in to
the stomach had no effect on insulin levels or glucose.
In another study
<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19808921>, drinking a
diet soda sweetened with sucralose had no significant
effect on insulin levels a (a minor non-significant
increase was noted). A study also demonstrated
<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20303371>that the use
of stevia did not increase insulin levels in healthy or
obese participants"

All those artificial sweeteners will kill you and/or
give you type 2 diabetes. Besides; they all taste
metallic or something. I can't stand them. Just give
me plain coffee with a dab of cream, or plain spiced tea.

Don’t like sugared soda but like sweet drinks. Sugar
is not a friend of my A1C either. I want the
caffeine in the morning.
Sweet, caffeinated, carbonated, but no artificial
sweetener, and no sugar, and no sucralose beverage.
Please bring back saccharine.
