I don't know much about it either Jenni.............Donna Donna, you can buy it in a bulk box, and even in a bag mixed half-n-half with real sugar. I had to make an Esater cake with it once, for a child who couldn't have sugar, when I worked in a bakery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 I adore splenda because it's one of the few ways my father can still enjoy sweet treats after weightloss surgery last year. if he comes to visit me this fall, i hope to slip him a fake " cheesecake " made with spenda. he was telling me one time how he was able to eat a pumpkin pie (and he absolutely hates pumpkin pie) that was made with splenda after he'd had his weightloss surgery.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 Is it safe? I see a lot of Splenda ads with children eating baked goods made with Splenda. Chelsea How low will we go?

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 from the aspartame link I found this: http://www.issplendasafe.com/. Apparently, it isn't. Me, I use the real thing or nothing at all. Moderation is key in my life. Not quite sure what I'd so if I had to go sugarless. While I'm babbling...my FIL frustrates me to no end. Over Easter break, he'd munch away on several pieces of bread the restaurants provided, ate pasta, etc. etc. then wouldn't eat dessert if it wasn't sugar free because he's trying to avoid diabetes. Thanks for letting me vent for a moment. Beth chelsea <chelsea_cheetah wrote: Is it safe? I see a lot of Splenda ads with children eating baked goods made with Splenda.

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 I personally don't trust splenda...the first time I had it, I noticed a weird chemical aftertaste in my mouth for over an hour. The second time, I became lightheaded and felt quite ill. I haven't intentionally eaten it again (though I know very quickly if I eat it accidently, and it is in so many things!). I tend to react to a lot of food chemicals, as well as household and industrial chemicals, stronger than most people though. But, because of that, if I react badly to something with one of those manufactured additives, I am immediatly suspect of it in general. Other than gastrointestinal upset, I don't know of other warnings that are put out about splenda, but i do know that it is a weird alcohol-type derivitive of sugar...and if white sugar should be avoided because it is too refined, then I can't imagine anything further refined/mutated from white sugar could be all that good for you in the long run. ~Rachael , chelsea <chelsea_cheetah wrote: > > Is it safe?

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 I think Splenda may be the safest of the sugar substitutes...that said, I wouldn't feed it to children and it does weird fizzing stuff when you add it to hot coffee melissa p > > > > > > > > How low will we go?

Guest guest Posted April 30, 2006 Report Share Posted April 30, 2006 I used to add 1tsp sugar to my tea but gradually cut that out. Although once in awhile I enjoy Dunkin Donuts Vanilla Chai.
