Re: Splenda and other sugar substitutes

I have what can only be described as " a mountain " of Splenda on my cottage

cheese and berry mixture. I've never seen any ill effects on either my muscle

definition or my brain.

Splenda and other sugar substitutes

Should I be watching how many calories of how much Splenda or other

sugar substitutes I am consuming? How much is too much? What is a

safe 'limit'?

Thanks,

Have you ever heard of anyone being allergic to Splenda or having any effects

from it. I have recently started using it. I have gotten a white welt on my

tongue. I am pretty sure it is after eating anything with Splenda in it. Maybe

my body just has to get used to it? Something new and foreign to it? I hope so,

cause I sure do like my sweets.

Splenda is made out of sugar (sucralose) and it has some maltodextrin (corn

starch) in it to give it the same volume as table sugar when you measure or pour

it. It's not very likely that you're allergic to sugar, and maltodextrin is in

everything. What are you putting the Splenda on? Maybe you're allergic to

berries or something else you've been eating?

You can read about Splenda at the web site:

There's some more detailed research and safety stuff in the section for

Healthcare Professionals.

And I don't know who this guy is but he has a pretty thorough comparison of the

different artificial sweeteners.
