Splenda is 37% carbs, for those who care about such things. Peg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 They are mentioned in the files. See the " Aids and Tips " file and the " recipes " file.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 Sucralose is a non-caloric sweetener, available in most markets under brand name Splenda. This appears to safe but opinions vary (I use it). Guar (gum) is a non-nutritive fiber, used as an extender in many foods, some use it as a base for low/non-caloric snacks. Again in moderation it appears to be safe but intestinal blockages have been linked to consumption of too much fiber with inadequate water (I use guar in recipes). Moderate consumption of both are useful in managing appetite but neither contain any useful nutrition. Adequate fiber consumption is associated positively with overall health.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2004 Report Share Posted February 18, 2004 Hi : What kinds of recipes do you find can benefit from the addition of guar? (I am aware of Warren's Guar Pudding). Rodney. P.S. ...... for BERNADETTE: As regards Sucralose, I believe Splenda is not 100% Sucralose and is much more expensive than bulk Sucralose. The 100% product is probably preferable for CRON purposes: " SPLENDA* Granular consists of sucralose and maltodextrin. Maltodextrin is a carbohydrate derived from corn starch that we add to SPLENDA* Granular so that it is more convenient to use in a home kitchen environment. It contributes 1/2 gram of carbohydrate or the equivalent of 2 calories per teaspoon. Similarly, SPLENDA* Packets contain sucralose, maltodextrin and dextrose. Adding dextrose to our SPLENDA* packets results in a more appetizing product that doesn't fizz or float on your drink. Dextrose can be sourced from many plants but the dextrose in our product is most likely from corn. Dextrose and maltodextrin contribute a total of 1 gram of carbohydrate or 4 calories per packet.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 I use guar & sucralose inconsistently. I have found that guar helps me hours after consumption, or the next day after eating it. I feel that it helps with blood sugar. For this reason, I have eaten the guar puddings with a supplement view .. and have mixed vegetables in it as well. I've use guar in attempt to emulate the Rebars ... not very successful. I've added a bit of guar to oatmeal. Been wanting to experiment with beef broth, mushrooms, guar & pepper/spices ... perhaps a gravy like sauce. These days, I'm just eating home made veggie soup without guar. The veggie soup was inspired by a post from Warren. It's been excellent for flavor & satiety. I find the sucralose is a bit different flavor from Splenda. It's great to have around when I want it. Love it. I keep Splenda packets in my purse since that is easier to transport. My sucralose is in liquid form & kept in glass bottle... not travel friendly. I don't always use sucralose or Splenda, but periodically will try to devise a dessert from veggies & sucralose. :-) bernadettepawlik wrote: >Could someone give me a description of them and their use in the CRON lifestyle? > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 There are new travel caps for Sucralose dispenser bottles now. A tiny lid from another similar size bottle (that screws on tight) will also work. With travel cap, the small 4-Oz bottle fits fine into a purse or backpack. Convenience idea: Try 3 bottles: One for home, one for work, one for travel. Extra bottle w/ travel cap & dropper available (off-list please). -- Warren 96 drops Sucralose = 1 cup sugar and has 0 calories. (Sucralose saturated) 24 packets Splenda = 1 cup sugar and has 96 calories. (Splenda packets) 48 teaspoons Sugar = 1 cup sugar and has 770 calories. (Table Sugar) For Splenda at $4.00 per box of 100 packets (4 cents a packet), Splenda cost 8-oz cup sugar = 24 X $.04 = $.96 For Sucralose cost at $0.035 per Oz sugar equivalent, Sucralose cost 8-oz cup sugar = 8 X $.035 = $.28 Source: http://www13.netrition.com/splenda_page.html ================================ On 18 Feb 2004, Apricot85 wrote: > > ...
