Which alternative to refined sugar is best?

After much research, aka googling, we found this helpful page http://www.raw-living-food-success.com/natural-sweetener.html to guide us what to use in making raw chocolate and settled on coconut palm sugar. I can't say that any sweet stuff is good for you but they are a whole lot better than having refined sugar so the key is moderation. Favourite bought raw chocolate (note we like dark chocolate best) is this one - 72% pitch dark, but we reckon making it ourselves will halve the cost.

Another interesting article about new research saying agave is not good for you.
