Splenda is Not a " Healthy " Sweetener

[Guest guest]

My Dad is aiabetic and it's more or less up to the individual using

Splenda. It's been good for him in moderation. Helps his sweet

craving, I know if he didn't use a little Splenda then he's be in bags

of candy that would be way worse.

As a diabetic, luckily for me I do not crave sugar nor eat desserts so

artificial sweeteners are generally not an issue for me. (I

ocassionally have a SF hot chocolate or something, but I stick to

fresh fruit to satisfy my sweet cravings.) I did not read the article

you forwarded as I did not want to sign up for whatever that link

required to view the article, however I will agree that Splenda, like

all artificial sweeteners, is not generally the best thing you could

put in one's body. <shrugs shoulders> I don't miss it at all, and if

you can live without it, all the better. I wouldn't recommend using

any articial sweetener unless it is a health issue such as diabetes.

 

That said, many diabetics like my father and brother don't have the

willpower to resist desserts and sweets, so I bake SF pies, cakes and

cheesecakes for them on a regular basis to keep them from splurging.

I love them and want them around for a while, so I am grateful that

there is an alternative like Splenda to help them.

 

Warm Regards,
