  1. I've read some articles that say splenda is bad, while some
    doctors say it's OK. What's the general concensus? It is
    highly chlorinated, so can't be that good. On the other
    hand, they claim it doesn't get absorbed. On the other hand,
    they say it is partly absorbed partly because it reacts with
    food and becomes something else. To me, it only sweetens
    food without adding any good taste, so sugar, in small
    amounts seems a better solution.

    I've never heard anything about it being bad.

    I've read some articles that say splenda is bad, while some

    Where were these articles published? Were they in peer
    reviewed scientific journals? If I saw them in the New
    England Journal of Medicine I would probably give them
    credence. If I saw them in the Naitonal Enquirer I wouldn't.
    Were the authors well qualified to make a judgment? Did they
    give you sufficient evidence to back up their claims?

    I'm not completely sure what this means -- don't most
    sweeteners sweeten food without adding some other taste? But
    if you don't like the taste of Splenda, then there's no
    reason to use it. Use a product that you like.

    Isn't this a repeat of the troll from a couple of weeks ago?

  6. Splenda tastes the best to me. I rarely use anything else. I
    don't care to hear all that [censored] that people say about
    sweetners in their paranoid way. The best sweetner is the
    one you like. Let me know when there is really hard evidence
    any of these is "bad" ... I won't stop though, unless alot
    of people are dying ... and then I'll think about a little
    and move on like nothing happened ! I need relly hard
    evidence that any sweetner is killing people ! Rainbow

  8. Against the advice of a few fearmongers (who probably have
    stock in Aspartame labs or whatnot), I use Splenda on
    breakfast cereal and to me, it tastes very much like table
    sugar, more than any other non-sugar sweetener. From what
    I've read, the body doesn't recognize it and it's excreted
    without impact. Considering all the negatives of refined
    sugar, especially from my dentist's perspective, it's a
    reasonable tradeoff IMO.

  9. Consensus seems to be:

    Equal/NutriSweet/any of the aspertame packets when you are
    sweetening stuff like coffee, tea, or other non-sensitive
    liquids. They are cheaper, too. Splenda for cooking and also
    for the occasional treat-type food such as blueberries plus
    cream. You get the grainy effect. More expensive stuff.

    Odd.

    Here in the UK, Splenda tabs and granules are about the same
    as the equivalent aspartame products WRT price.
