Artificial Sweeteners...why do they all taste so bad?

stevia is not an artificial sweetener it’s plant based, but highly processed to remove the natural licorice type aftertaste. It’s just a different glucose molecule. True synthetics like nutrasweet are pretty horrible though and definitely not anything you should consume.

the reason alternative sweeteners taste different than pure glucose/fructose is that the chemistry is different

This is the way.

They all have an aftertaste. I drink coffee black. Once you get used to drinking it black -- which doesn't take long -- sweetened coffee tastes nasty.

I use about half a teaspoon of sugar. I consider those 8 calories all but negligible. I'll never get what people think they are really "saving" in the grand scheme of things by using artificial shite for their coffee.

Stevia isn't that bad. You just have to add very conservatively because the taste can be overpowering

I'm not watching sugar intake. If you want to sweeten it, use sugar or leave it unsweetened.

If I'm ingesting a non sugar, non HFCS sweetener, it's usually by mistake.
(or in cough syrup etc.)

The only one I've ever noticed was aspartame. But I also want my stuff barely sweet.
