Aspartame gives me annoying eye twitches. I avoid the stuff. Sucralose makes me drowsy. I avoid it, too.
I limit my sugar intake. Beyond that, I just do without... unless I'm making something where I can add stevia. (In this paragraph, I include rice syrup, agave syrup, maple syrup, and other non-cane simple CHO suppliers under the umbrella of "sugar".)
