I worry about the "natural" sugar alternatives. We all know that aspartame is safe, it's been researched about as extensively as it can be. It only starts to be a concern when you're drinking 2 dozen diets sodas daily.

But people give "natural" a pass for some reason.

Natural is always good, my cereal has natural uranium for a spicy natural alternative to sugar. It's totally safe.
