OPINION: Discuss: Sweeteners/Alternative to sugar. 

CHOOSE 3 ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS ( Do not include honey, agave syrup, molasses or any other natural sweetener) AND DISCUSS WHY YOU THINK THEY ARE BETTER/WORSE THAN SUGAR AND WHY YOU THINK SO.  DESCRIBE EACH OF THEM SEPARATELY AND INCLUDE ANY RISKS/BENEFITS INVOLVED IN USING EACH ONE. INCLUDE PROOF OF RISKS/BENEFITS (HAS THIS BEEN SCIENTIFICALLY ESTABLISHED).

YOU WILL NOT GET FULL CREDIT IF CITATIONS ARE NOT USED. There are many web sites that can help you. Just make sure you cite the source.  DO NOT FORGET TO COMMENT ON WHAT YOUR CLASSMATES SAY. THAT IS PART OF THE THREAD. IT IS OKAY TO DISAGREE.

 DISCUSSIONS SHOULD NOT BE ONE LINE RESPONSES. THEY NEED TO SHOW AN UNDERSTANDING OF THE TOPIC.  MAKE SURE YOU STATE YOUR POINT AND DEFEND IT WITH FACTS.
