Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Thank you, Sandy. Could you please pass on the stuff you've read that say it's bad? I have googled a lot and haven't found anything bad about Splenda, but plenty of bad things (who knows?) about all the others. I was hoping Splenda was a no-worry sweetener! I only use it in coffee, but did try it in a pie/cheesecake thing for Christmas. **sigh** no such thing as a worry free anything anymore! ~a In a message dated 1/1/2006 5:54:50 PM US Eastern Standard Time, skemp4@... writes: Hi a, I have read some books regarding general health as well as diabetes and articles on the web(taken with a grain of salt) that state that stevia or xylitol are better substitutes than splenda. Some actually say Splenda is quite bad for you. Splenda tastes great, no carbs and tons of people are using it so it is just a personal thing with me. It is processed with chlorine from what I've read - which I know is bad for you. I am sure in small doses, it is just fine but I am reluctant to bake with gobs of it frequently. I had heard that liquid stevia can actually lower your BS - but certain brands of stevia have a yucky aftertaste. ~Sandy --------------- From: paula42662@... Subject: Re: Re: Artificial sweeteners What issues do you have with Splenda in the small amounts you use? Just curious. ~a ------------------------ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
