Agave, Splenda, honey, and stevia are all sweeteners used in some recipes for special diets. If you are comfortable using another artificial or natural sweetener, experiment as you see fit. While a few of the recipes included in this chapter do not contain refined sugars, please note, agave nectar, fruits, and honey still contain sugar. They make for a healthier substitute for sugar, as they are natural, but if you're on a restricted diet, you should consult with your doctor before adding such ingredients to your own diet.
