Human: What are some things I can use to sweeten coffee besides regular sugar?

Assistant: I recommend using stevia, agave, or honey as a low-calorie alternative to sugar in your coffee. Stevia is a zero-calorie sweetener that may be similar to sugar in taste and adds a sweet flavor to coffee with little or no additional sugar or calories. Agave is a sweetener derived from a plant cultivated in Mexico, and adds a sweet flavor to coffee while being lower glycemic than sugar, so it does not lead to the same blood glucose spike as regular sugar. Honey is also a low-calorie sweetener that adds a sweet flavor to coffee while providing some benefits for health, such as supporting immune function and promoting cardiovascular health.

Assistant: Good suggestion! Some natural sweeteners that are great and healthier alternatives to sugar for adding to coffee or other beverages include: honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar, agave nectar, stevia leaves, and monk fruit powder. These sweeteners have sweet taste but do not add carbohydrates, unlike regular sugar. They thus impart a slightly sweet or maple taste to coffee while also being healthier alternatives to large amounts of sugar.
