I agree with you there. Being an insulin dependent diabetic, I have acquired a taste for the stuff. I use sugar for most things, though I drink diet soda occasionally. Picked up the habit again when I needed to drive through the night multiple times about 12 years ago.
I have had a few xylitol flavored sodas that aren't bad, though it isn't a natural sweetener either.
Agave seemed to be the best sweetener for me in terms of sweetness & less (still does it, but far less) blood sugar spike. A buddy of mine swears by monkfruit, though I haven't found it to be a good fit as a sweetener yet. I still need to tinker with it more.
Hope your mom & grandma are healthy. My grandpa defied the odds, living until his 90s. Hoping I have those genes 😅
