best tasting, September 13, 2009
By Pauli from Key West, Fl

"This has to be the best tasting sugar substitute I've ever tried. Specially for baking. The brown sugar (molasses) taste is quite subtle and not as stong as when using real brown sugar, but its the best substitute if you need to watch your sugar intake."

"This brown sugar substitute is the best ever-so delicious on my morning oatmeal, or sprinkled on toast with cinnamon. I also use it in all my recipes that call for brown sugar. I make Chinese sweet & sour pork, and no one knows the difference in the sauce between using "real" brown sugar and this wonderful brown sugar substitute. It doesn't break down in cooking and tastes great in baking with no after taste. Try it, you'll love it."

"Admittedly, I have only baked ONE batch of chocolate chip cookies using both the white and brown diabetisweet...but, it sure gave me some serious gas. The likes of which I have never seen! Let's just say that after eating these I had to stay removed from any social gatherings. :) The cookies, however, were a delight to eat and taste. I tried to keep my review at a "satisfactory" in case I attempt more baking and find the results less "diasatrous". I really do want to try again for I just love the idea of being able to eat baked goods that taste nearly as good as those with regular sugar."

"The items you can bake with Diabeti Sweet are unlimited. I have a small baking business, which I specialize in sugar-free items. Here are two things I make: Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies and Southern Pecan Pie. These are just a couple, but I know more good things are to come. If you want a great produce to bake with, look no further. THIS IS IT!!!!"

"As a diabetic, I have found this product to be the best all round sweetner I can use. I use it one to one for regular brown sugar, although I do not have occasion to use the brown sugar sweetner as often as the white version. It does not have an after taste or cause bloating or gas, and works well in cooking. Great product."

"I have used many artificial sweeteners, and as a professional baker, this is the only one that I have used that even comes close to real sugar. My diabetic clients usually think that I have used sugar and not a 'sugar substitute.' The taste and quality are awesome. I now use it in my home and my granddaughter doesn't even notice the difference."

Diabetisweet, June 1, 2007
By Stevie

"There has been some question as to the safety of using some of the more common sugar substitutes lately. This product does not contain any of those 'questionable' ingredients, which makes me feel alot better!
This little sweeter is wonderful in coffee and has absolutely no aftertaste. Although it says it is equal measure to measure with sugar, I found I still use less. I am doubling my order because I am going to be using more of it.
