Sugar and Sweeteners
Sugar is composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. It is used as a natural food stuff to sweeten the majority of other food stuffs that we wish to taste sweet. Monosaccharides is the simplest form of sugar. Sugar can be found in the tissues of plants before sugar use, honey was used to add sweetness to our foods. Sweeteners, rather than being a food stuff is a food additive. High intensity sweeteners, are a lot sweeter than sugar that we use everyday that does not contain the same level of food energy. Sweeteners can be natural or synthetic the majority are artificial. Sorbitol is a natural sweetener whereas saccharin, created by accident in 1879 is an artificial sweetener. Sweeteners can take the place of natural sugar, where the consumption of natural sugar may be detrimental to our health, such as diabetes sufferers. Canada banned the use of saccharin in 1977 as tests in relation to bladder cancer from the 1960's showed that their may be a link to bladder cancer of users of high dies of saccharin, also these tests involved the use of animals.

Splenda is made from sucralose. Results from over 100 animal and clinical studies in the FDA approval process unanimously indicated a lack of risk associated with sucralose intake. However, some adverse effects were seen at doses that significantly exceeded the estimated daily intake (EDI), which is 1.1 mg/kg/day.
A Duke University study found evidence that doses of Splenda of between 100 and 1000 mg/kg, containing sucralose at 1.1 to 11 mg/kg reduced the amount of good bacteria in the intestines of rats by up to 50%, increased the pH level in the intestines, contributed to increases in body weight, and affected the levels of P-glycoprotein (P-gp). These effects have not been reported in humans. An expert panel, including scientists from Rutgers University, New York Medical College, Harvard School of Public Health, Columbia University, and Duke University reported in Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology that the Duke study was "not scientifically rigorous and is deficient in several critical areas that preclude reliable interpretation of the study results". Another report suggests sucralose was a possible trigger for some migraine patients. Another study, published in the Journal of Mutation Research, linked large doses of sucralose equivalent to 11,450 packets (136 g) per day in a person to DNA damage in mice.
Assuming that you are asking about cubes made from white sugar, then the difference between sugar made from beet or cane is nonexistent. Both are pure sucrose; they don't really have a distinguishing taste, just sweet. Sugars from other sources have different tastes, and are easily spotted. Glucose, fructose, lactose and maltose all give recognisably different tastes to products in which they are incorporated. Note. Brown sugar from cane is different from that of beet origin, which is why it is more expensive; people are willing to pay more for the real thing.

In 510 BC the Emperor Darius of what was then Persia invaded India where he found "the reed which gives honey without bees".

Pepsi One and Diet Rite are the only "major" brand of carbonated drink I know about that have sucralose. In 2005 Coke talked about getting something out but I have not seen any of their products without aspartame. Keep looking.
I hope someone else can post a better answer soon, but maybe this helps in the interim.

Is raw sugar better than artificial sweeteners?
Raw unrefined sugar is not the same as the brown sugar that you see in the store, even though they are both brown. Unrefined raw sugar is made from the juice from the sugar cane plant and has trace minerals and nutrients present. Refined sugar is devoid of all nutrients.
They now sell two types of raw sugar in North America so you need to research your sources. Raw Sugar is what is left after processing the sugar cane to remove the molasses and refine the white sugar. In North America raw sugar is actually not "raw" as it has been partially refined to remove any contaminants. The color is similar to light brown sugar but it's texture is grainier.
