Neotame (was: Splenda)

[Guest guest]

JR: please tell us more about Neotame. I note that you find it harder to work with. Do you prefer sucralose? If Neotame is a useful product we should add it to our links (where we discuss where to buy CRON products).

I've used real sucralose (the zero cal sweetener in splenda) for years

with no perceived ill effects. I have recently tried some neotame which

is even sweeter (and cheaper) than sucralose.

I would be careful about some sugar-free or zero Kcal foods as

commercial preparations often include caloric components but game the

labels with serving size, etc.

Spenda contains some caloric extender as pure sucralose is 600x as

sweet as raw sugar so would be difficult to use in raw form. (note:

Neotame is 8000x as sweet as sugar so even harder to work with).
