Splenda???

I was just wondering if Chronies can use splenda as a sweetner? I was told not to use the others but have never heard about splenda.

Here's a link....

I use Stevia myself or honey, when needed that is.

 I'm in lust/love with Splenda!!! It doesn't bother me at all. I drink a great deal of unsweetened tea and add about two packets per 8-12oz. It's weird, Sweet & Low hurts my stomach and some sweeteners in gums make me nauseous, but Splenda and Equal are okay for me. I like the taste of Splenda better but if Equal is the only thing around I'll grab that. Give it a go!

I use honey in coffee, tea, baking, toast, pretty much anything.  I even make apple crisp and shortbread with honey and no sugar. It tastes awesome.

I have it every day and it doesn't bother me.

It makes me puke, but I'm good with Equal.

Ya guys, your best bets are honey/Stevia when it comes to sweetners, avoiding all the rest will safe you grief with your health now and down the road.

And forgot to mention it makes me feel nauseated.

agave nectar and REAL maple syrup are good too. just use them sparingly or at least in moderation.

table sugar is only calories - it provides no benefit to the human body. it has no vitamins or minerals. one can argue it is a drug, like heroin, nicotine, or alcohol. yes, it is addictive. go off it and you detox. it also makes you fat by spiking your insulin levels - too much sugar in your system makes the pancreas secrete insulin which turns the excess carbs (ie sugar) into fat. thus it isnt the fat making you fat, it is the excess carbs, found in nutritionless processed/refined products and sugar. the low fat/non fat diets are a total scam. nature has fat in things like milk for a reason - so you can absorb and utilize the accompanying fat soluble vitamins it contains. farmers back in the day regarded skim milk a waste product and discarded it once they skimmed off the butterfat to make cream and butter. if you remove the fat from the milk, you cannot absorb vitamin D, even the (arguably) toxic synthetic form the manufacturer puts into the milk (fortified milk - ha!) after he killed the original vitamin D in it (along with the milk's enzymes and other vitamins, etc) from pasteurization. sorry for the rabbit hole. man, i should be charging for this stuff....

Thanks for all the input. I've tried Stevia but it tasted like dry twigs to me, that was a long time ago maybe I'll give it another go. I just want something sweet like maybe a nice cold glass of decaf Tea. The Apple crisp and shortbread didn't sound half bad either. Ah I can see myself now sittin back with an icy cold glass of tea and a piece of shortbread. LOL Ok now I need the recipe.
