I use a natural sweetener called Stevia-plus in my tea every morning. If I eat more than usual during the day I will have two cups of tea with the Stevia-plus. Stevia-plus comes in a packet like Equal.
I don't do acacia or any of the other stuff listed on the boards other than watching what I eat of course. As long as I keep my stress level to a minimum, I do very well.
I hope this helps! You can find Stevia-Plus in the natural food section of most grocery stores.
