Dropped the Splenda and started using cheap Walmart brand Stevia. Of coarse not as good as Splenda, but u will get use to it.

As a fatty it helped me curb sugar cravings when I cut it all out

Do alot of flavored seltzer water - once you break taste they are pretty flavorable with no sugar or fake sugar

Just came across this stevia study. A tad dated so I don't know if it is relevant or not.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10619379

A study conducted on prepubertal male rats showed that chronic administration (60 days) of a Stevia rebaudiana aqueous extract produced a decrease in final weight of testis, seminal vesicle and cauda epididymidis. In addition, the fructose content of the accessory sex glands and the epididymal sperm concentration are decreased. Stevia treatment tended to decrease the plasma testosterone level, probably by a putative affinity of glycosides of extract for a certain androgen receptor, and no alteration occurred in luteinizing hormone level. These data are consistent with the possibility that Stevia extracts may decrease the fertility of male rats.
