The holy grail of sweetners is left handed sugar. Basically a regular glucose molecule but flipped. Tastes identical to sugar but cannot be metabolized.
The catch is that no one has found a way to synthesize it cheaply.
I don't know. Trans-fat turned out to be super bad. I'm leery of trans-sugar.
Something tells me there is no free lunch here as well.
It seems everything that gratifies the tongue is bad in some way.
