      In my opinion sugar is better for you than sweeteners.. Although sweeteners are not necessarily bad for us due to the large range of other additives in our foods it is not known very well how they all react together in our bodies. Sugar is sugar and it is pretty well known how our body breaks this down and uses it.. However sugar to excess is not good for us either and so should be had in moderation as a treat.

      None of them is better. The less sweets we eat the better, both sugar and sweeteners can be unhealthy. Sugar because gives us energy and nothing else so the body does not work properly when getting plenty of energy out of sugar. Sweeteners do not give us energy but gives us the sweet taste and this make us craving for more sweet things, so in the end we are going to end up eating a sugary thing.
