What do you use as a sugar substitute?

We have made a conscious decision to use the sweeteners stevia, sucralose and acesulfame K instead of sugar. And we won’t be putting aspartame in our shaker either!

 If you’re now saying that sweeteners are just as bad – or even worse – then we have to say: that’s not quite right. As is so often the case, it’s all about moderation, and here sweeteners have a clear advantage – because even tiny amounts can make a big difference. For example, you can drink 5 HOLY a day without any worries and still not exceed the recommended daily maximum intake of sweeteners. In contrast, a standard 250ml energy drink contains around 27 grams of sugar, which is already above the World Health Organisation’s recommended maximum of 25g per day!
