Best sweetener options in my opinion include stevia, monk fruit, xylitol, and erythritol. None are perfect, but for blood sugar levels these four are the best. The key here is to find a PURE sweetener and use sparingly. Many of these come diluted with bulking agents like lactose, dextrose, and maltodextrin. Read your labels. It should say 100% organic stevia (or whatever) and should not have any other ingredient in it. (Silicon dioxide is sometimes added as an anti-caking ingredient, which is fine.) Thoughts here? I know experts disagree and some like Mark Hyman, MD think we should get off ALL sweeteners. What are your thoughts here and what sweetener(s) do you use?
