Montana,

I just can't imagine that you would be negetivly effected by Splenda.

I have not heard of anyone who has had a problem with it.

I am sure that someone, somewhere has experienced difficulties but I

have not run across any information o it.

A friend of mine sent me an article about a year ago on Splenda but I

did not get around to reading it and I can not now find it. My friend

has not gotten back to me with any new information. I am working on the

problem though.

I believe that you can purchase a very small amount of Splenda from the

grocery store. It should be enough to give you a good shot at

determining if you have any bummed out feeling from it.

Dad...

Re: blood sugar tests

NO I am worried how I will be effected by it.

Not what it has in it.

Some of the other sweeteners make me feel so lousy I hate to buy

something

then can't use it.

so that was what I was talking about.

Thanks for letting me know about this though.

Oh good,

I will try it count on it.

Again if I remember what you shared one time with me was one cup splinda to

one cup sugar when baking something like that.

I hope that is rite.

then the rest of the recipe stays the same.

Montana,

No, it is 1/4 cup of sugar for each 3/4 cup of Splenda.

This seems to be important in anything which you want to thicken such as

a pudding or pie. My cousin made a berry pie and had a horriffic time

getting the thing to set up.

Yes, I occasionally bake. Not too much anymore as my children are grown and

my husband and I do not need any sweets! Ihave successfully made breads,

pies and once cookies with Splenda. They do recommend that if your recipe

calls for brown sugar, do not substitute that with Splenda and some people

prefer to bake with a mixture of Splenda and regular sugar-half and half,

but I just used all splenda with about a tablespoon of honey, sot he item

would brown. Really cuts down n the calories. With pumpkin pie, I did not

even use the honey; just Splenda and no one knew the difference. I don't

know about fig Newtons-the " light " might mean it is lighter in fat content.

You will have to have someone at the store read the carb count to you.

Re: blood sugar tests

Wow that is a long time and I am so glad you are here to talk about it.

I am concerned about splenda.

So far sweet and low doesn't bother me,

and I would hate to buy something and then find out it does bother me.

So how do you bake or do you?

Also I am wondering about the cookie called fig Newton's.

I know they have one out there that is a light.
