Mirror sugars still taste sweet though.

Levulose (mirror dextrose, as the names indicate) is a good non-caloric sweetener for this reason; it behaves for the chemical purposes of cooking exactly like dextrose. You can't get it commercially, because it costs too much to manufacture (or so Wikipedia tells me), but it would be perfect if only it were cheap.
