Agave Syrup
A low Glycemic Index natural sweetener that comes from the Agave plant and tastes fabulous. You can use agave to sweeten anything that you bake or you could use it in your beverages. The Glycemic Index of Agave Syrup is 15 as opposed to 64 that of white sugar. It only means that it does not spike your blood sugar the way white sugar does.
Brown Rice Syrup
Made from brown rice :). It has a thicker consistency but works great to make sauce that calls for a sweetener.
Stevia
Not my favorite because I don't like the after taste but so much better than Splenda. If I need to sweetened my tea or coffee I would go for Stevia Sachets that are handy to carry and sweeten so much better than any other sweetener in a packet. GI of Stevia is less than 1 :) :)
Don't give up your sweet tooth just choose a healthy sweetener.
