Karo syrup can't be found here except at the holidays. Crazy, huh. I used to be able to get it year round but that's changed in the past 5 or so years. Seasonal availability is something to consider when trying to stock up.

Sorghum syrup isn't sold anywhere around here anymore. I searched for two years with no luck. While it has a stronger flavor, it can be substituted for molasses and spoon per spoon you use less. Sorghum and molasses will last for years. Growing stevia is another option for a sweetener.

I would add "for some people." Look for some in the store to try, and make sure your body will accept it.
