Best sugar substitute?

try cinnamon or other spices, no sugar but give different flavours. personally i havent tried them with anything but rice pudding or other sweet stuff
 
honey
 
What about for baking? With ground almonds and eggs. You need some bulk, I think .. I have a low-carb cookbook that uses Splenda. Has anyone used this with success?

This is an old post, but I was looking for info on sweeteners. However, I'm not sure if Dan is being funny, but this is a ridiculous piece of advice. I mean, yes, you could consume sugar and shoot up with more insulin, but the whole point of these forums is to help with good advice. Isn't it?
Anyway, I've been trying Xylitol the last week, and it's pretty good. Not appeared to have much effect on blood sugars and it's pretty sweet.
 
If the amount of sweetening is reduced for everything then the taste-buds perceive sweetness with more sensitivity - it takes a little while, but suddenly peas and beetroot taste sweet. I used to use sweeteners in drinks, but now don't need to.
 
I'm think more for puddings, etc. Haven't had sweet beverages for decades, but making a cheesecake would need some sugar in the cheese. I did make a cream cheese pud this weekend and used xylitol and it was nice.
I do believe xylitol is one of the sweeteners that don't impact keto or blood sugars.
