My pallet is probably too screwed up to give out sweetness advice. I haven't regularly eaten sugary shit in 10 years and sucralose tastes very close to sugar to me...
I'm not big on sweets either. I gave those up back in 2003 just out of the blue. If anything I drink a lot of my own brewed green tea with no sweeteners.
I do enjoy the occasional Pepsi Max when I need to do something creative on the 'puter such as writing, art design, audio/video restoration/digital archiving/conversion or coding. Or just deconstructing various data files and figuring out their formatting. Oh, and the occasional MAME game. :-)
A bad sweetener experience I've had was with sorbitol prior to my pharmaceutical career knowledge. Forget about Olestra. Just don't eat a lot of those low-cal candies. But then I love hot cinnamon and, well, I'll leave the rest to your own imaginations. I giggle when I know that sorbitol is used as a laxative in certain pharmacy preparations.
It's not sweets that I'm hooked to. It's spicy things. And I love hot cinnamon.
But low-carb BBQ? As long as it has the right amount of spicy, smokey and tangy then it's all good. Meat is good! And when it's all grilled outside wash it down with some fresh brewed unsweetened iced tea with lemon. :-)
Anyone else hungry? I need to grill something.
