Guest guest Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Hi Pam, Do I understand correctly that you substitute sugar with Splenda in your cheesecakes? I hate the taste of the artificial sweetener in diet pop, so if I do drink pop (very rarely, I may say, I opt for the regular version) but I would be willing to to try Splenda in a cheesecake (my BF loves cheesecakes). If do substitute, in what ratio? Thanks Alena Re: Pls. help me with cravings Hi Kim, I ear splenda freely without a problem.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Kim, This is my recipe: 3 pkg cream cheese 5 egg yolks dash of lemon cool aid (no sugar or sweetener) tablespoon vanilla 1 1/2 cups splenda 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream mix together with hand mixer and bake at 300 degrees until done. or pour into mini cupcake pan (needs less cooking time) or cook in microwave and chill or eat hot.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 Thought this info might interest you. Splenda-- As Dr. Janet Hull writes in her July newsletter, eating sucralose--brand name Splenda--is like ingesting tiny amounts of chlorinated pesticides. If this sounds unappealing to you, it certainly doesn't to Splenda's marketing team, who say they've " done a great job of redefining sweetness. " Splenda, which was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1988 as a tabletop sweetener and sweetener for an array of other products, is a chlorocarbon. Chlorocarbons are known to cause organ, genetic and reproductive damage, which may explain why Splenda has been found to shrink the thymus gland--a foundation of the immune system--by 40 percent. According to Dr. Hull, sucralose also causes: * Swelling of the liver and kidneys * Calcification of the kidney * Fertility issues in male rates * Gastrointestinal problems in pregnant rats It is especially important to stop using Splenda immediately if you experience kidney pain, cramping, swelling, an irritated bladder, or blood in your urine, she says. It is also interesting to note the information taken directly from a statement from the manufacturer of Splenda: 'Sucralose is made from sugar, but is derived from sucrose (sugar) through a process that selectively substitutes three atoms of chlorine for three hydrogen-oxygen groups on the sucrose molecule. No artificial sweetener made in the laboratory is going to be neither natural to the body nor safer than unprocessed sugar.' Splenda is approximately 600 times sweeter than sugar, but the sweetness is forced, not like a natural sugar the body uses for fuel, says Dr. Hull. And although corporations say Splenda is safe, they have said the same thing about aspartame, which is now linked to disease and obesity. They also claim that the chlorine atoms in Splenda are altered and therefore safe, yet it's known that any animal that eats chlorine (especially on a regular basis) is at risk of cancer. The corporate researchers go on further to say that sucralose is the most tested food additive in history. They stated, verbatim, the same thing about aspartame and, according to Dr. Hull, consumers are witnessing the same state of affairs in many ways. Dr. Janet Hull Newsletter July 2004 Dr. Mercola's Comment: Most readers know that I do not recommend using Splenda in any form. For further information on Splenda you can review my Splenda toxicity page and read through the many testimonials people have sent in about this product. So are you willing to risk your health by consuming something that closely resembles DDT? Well, I sure am not and have and will continue to avoid this artificial sweetener and encourage you to do the same. In fact, I feel so strongly about this topic that I am in the process of writing a book about sucralose and its dangers that will be out in 2005.

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2005 Report Share Posted May 24, 2005 I would suggest you try a small box of splenda first and see if it agrees with you. It doesn't work here, but know of others that has no problems with it. Re: Pls. help me with cravings > > > Hi Kim, > > I ear splenda freely without a problem.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Bravo!!!!! Fantastic post!!!!! Let's stop putting poisons in our bodies and eat properly!!! Most agree that the sweetener options for candida are stevia and xylitol. Of course you need to try them for yourself and see.
