>>Equal® is a registered trade mark. I find it is the best artificial sweetener for baking.<<

This sweetener breaks down into components one being formaldehyde when subjected to heat above 185 degrees-F. That gives it a bitter aftertaste.

The best "artificial" sweetener is Splenda but it is not artificial...it is an all natural form of sugar that is metabolized very slowly & is safe for diabetics to ingest.

None of the current crop of artificial sweetener is truly safe when subjected to heat. Those that contain aspartame such as Equal & Sweet-n-Low, etc. breakdown as I have detailed.
