Stevia is a calorie-free sweetener that has none of the harmful side effects of aspartame, saccharine or cyclamates. Called "honey leaf" by the natives of Paraguay, where it has been used for centuries, stevia has actually been found to offer some health benefits.

High-Fructose Corn Syrup May Act More Like Fat Than Sugar in the Body
More recent research suggests, however, that there may be some unexpected nutritional consequences of using the syrup. "Fructose is absorbed differently" than other sugars, says Bray. "It doesn't register in the body metabolically the same way that glucose does."

Is there a difference between fructose and High Fructose Corn Syrup and are there any links to hyperactivity in children?
Some parents are convinced sugar makes their young children hyperactive and have seen fewer behavior and attention problems if sweets are restricted or removed. This is a parental judgement call based on what you've observed in your own children.

Sugar
There's no evidence to suggest a direct link between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and the consumption of sugar. Some children are sensitive to food additives. Sugar often keeps company with colours and preservatives in foods, such as soft drinks and lollies and may be incorrectly blamed for any reaction occurring after eating these foods.

Sugar Gets a Bum Wrap - The culprit is corn syrup
The most common negative behavior as a result to corn sweeteners is hyperactive behavior.

The term "people" is used because the same effects can be found in adults as well as children.

"I saw 182 of these children with behavior and learning problems where they avoided those foods and then added them back one at a time. I also asked parents what dietary ingredient ever disturbed your child's behavior, made him hyperactive and what foods were the most common offenders. Sugar was the No. 1 thing they identified."

Xylitol
Studies using xylitol as either a sugar substitute or a small dietary addition have demonstrated a dramatic reduction in new tooth decay, along with arrest and even some reversal of existing dental caries. Xylitol provides additional protection that enhances all existing prevention methods. This xylitol effect is long-lasting and possibly permanent. Low decay rates persist even years after the trials have been completed.
