Is this site pretty much on target?

I'm not sure where or how I found this site so I want to make sure this info is accurate and not just opinion...

The site is correct in saying that using white sugar is safer than using artificial sweeteners. But I find no need to use white sugar when there are so many other natural choices available such as honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, sucanat, rapadura, molasses, dates, and of course just adding fruit sweetens up a recipe.

Hope this helps! If you need any information regarding the natural sweeteners listed above, let me know... I will be happy to share.
