My Experience With Splenda

x-no-archive:yes

Interesting. When you say you have had Splenda a couple more times with the
same result, do you mean Splenda on its own (eg as a sweetener in your
drink) or as an ingredient such as in the macaroons?

I find sugar alcohol causes the same symptoms - was there sugar alcohol in
the products as well as Splenda?

You're a lying idiot spammer.
And stevia tastes like [censored] anyway.

Somehow I think I'd rather go with my own experience and that of
millions of others who use Splenda with no problems at all, rather than
a self-serving scare post from a spammer. And BTW, who the hell cares
about your spat with Curves?

So of course you're going to make up some "I got deathly ill" story about
something that is of course, NOT Steviva brand stevia. Very clever.

Nobody would ever guess you're a salesman. I won't tell anyone.

I love Splenda and Splenda loves me.

this makes me smile - although I had my first taste of splenda this weekend and
I wasn't too impressed by it. it's sweet but in terms of taste I can tell it's
not real sugar.

I am tempted to say Lair, Lair. Pants on Fire. But it could be true for
the macaroons as I am sure they also included sugar alcohols. I have tried
Steviva. It tastes terrible and will never replace Splenda.

Kiwi Mel,

Thanks for the questions!

I had Splenda in diet sodas and maple syrup. I am sure that it is not
the sugar alcohols. It has something to do with the Chlorinated sugar
product in Sucralose that raises havoc on the intestines.

If you have problems with sugar alcohols I would suggest Steviva Blend
which is a blend of the highest quality stevia extract and erythritol,
a filler which is naturally occurring in a variety of foods and derived
from fermented glucose.

We spent 5 years looking for the best filler (erythritol) that had the
most benign effect on digestion and insulin and we found it in
erythritol.

Thanks and have an excellent day.

I am sorry if my post has angered you.

I would not say that we are in a spat with Curves as much as we are
concerned about the we beiing of their members.

We are not trying to scare members of this board... on the contrary.
This is just one persons experience and for those of you who like
Splenda and have no adverse reaction to it... continue using it.

Thank you for your comments.

Dear Crafty Mom,

Thank you for your comments.

I did not get "Deathly Ill" and I don't recall using that language. I
did have ill effects. But, if you like Splenda... then continue using
it. This was just one persons experience.

I am sorry if I offended you.

Have an excellent day.

Dear Fred,

I am glad that you share such a close relationship with Splenda. There

Good luck with your continued use.

Thank you for your comments.

You may have tried stevia powder and experienced a bitter after taste.

I would put Steviva Brand, Stevia Blend which is a blend of the highest
quality stevia extract and erythritol (a filler which is naturally
occurring in a variety of foods and derived from fermented glucose)
against Splenda any day.

Thanks again.

"Well being" of their members my *eye*. The only thing you're
concerned about the well being of is your bank account.
You promote alcohol and tobacco and sugar pushers alike, so you can
spare me the pure motive [censored]. You'd take the company that makes
Splenda's money just as quickly as you took Krispy Kreme's.
