The BEST natural sweenter which I found and use is Xylitol. Health food stores have it. As I recall, the American Dental Assocation approves of Xylitol.
I have a daughter-in-law who uses stevia. She has had some unfortunate reactions to other sweeteners. One thing she did say is that she has to be extremely cautious because it's very bitter if you use very much.

Have you checked the ICN Shop?
Click on ICN Shop at the top of this page. You'll find Bladder Builder and Bladder Rest, both of which we are finding have excellent results.

I have used the Xylitol for two years and have had no problems with it.
My friends and I believe it is the closet "thing" to sugar. I work with two natural alternative nutritionists, one in Indiana and the other in California, who also use Xylitol.
Thanks for your reply.

You might contact the company's website I mentioned in a previous post for some samples. Here is more info:
Pure Xylitol is a white crystalline substance that looks and tastes like sugar. It is a naturally occurring 5-carbon sugar alcohol found in many fruits and vegetables and produced in small amounts by the human body. For commercial use, it is manufactured from xylan hemicellulose sources such as Birch trees, cane bagasse and corn cobs/stalks. It is the sweetest of the polyols with the same sweetness as sugar (sucrose) but with 40% fewer calories and none of the negative tooth decay or insulin release effects of sugar.
Classified on labels as a carbohydrate, Xylitol has been used in foods since the 1960's and is approved in the U.S. as a food additive in unlimited quantity for foods with special dietary purposes and is safe for use by those with diabetes or hypoglycemia.
