There are many brands in India.
Which generic is safe - Sucralose, Aspartame, Acesulfame K, Stevia Rebaudiana which is a herb ?
I read Aspartame and Acesulfame K are carcinogens .
Is sucralose safe ?
Stevia natural sweetener is good but its sweetness is very less .You have to put 3-4 pellets to make it sweet.

I have been buying an Australian Organic Stevia powder. It's expensive. I've become used to it being less sweet and only use a little of it in my tea. I grew up in sugar cane country so we ate a lot of sugar and sugar products when I was young unfortunately.
I found out recently when looking into Stevia further that are some disputes regarding it being all that good for us as well. There are probably much better sites about it but I had saved this one in bookmarks so it's easier for me to post.
