Since most “sugar” now is HFCS, I think I’ll be sticking with aspartame.

Before you decide to “stick with aspartame”, I think you should “google” it first. Then decide. It is nasty stuff.

Aspartame sucks. It tastes lousy and is bad for you. Splenda, on the other hand, is a gift from the gods. It takes very much like real sugar but cannot be utilized by the body and passes harmlessly through.

Eat what you ate when you were skinny and never thought about it, but substitute Splenda for sugar, and you will be better off. Eat like a pig, and splenda won't help.

I generally avoid processed foods and artificial sweeteners.

Please be aware that aspartame causes stomach and other problems for some people. I try hard to avoid it, but they put that crap in almost everything.
