RE: lemonade and sweetness vs. exercise

[Guest guest]

If you want to experiment with commonly available ingredients before getting

too serious, I have been making a very low calorie lemonade for years using

lemon juice available at any market. I also use the pure Sucralose (thank

you Warren for making it available) but you can certainly get close enough

to make a judgment using standard Splenda.

I do everything with a gram scale but to make 2 quarts I use 125G of lemon

juice (approx 1/2 cup) and the sucralose equivalent to 1 cup of sugar. I

don't bother to track the calories they're so low.

=============

On a sweetness related note: I saw a recent study that found exercise shifts

our threshold for perceiving sweetness lower. While I've never noticed this

effect, the study also observed that rats after being exercised couldn't

tolerate drinking as much of a highly sweetened fluid.

Perhaps another minor benefit of exercise.

Sucralose fruit Punch (12 calories per quart).

Put one tsp of no-sugar-added grape juice concentrate

(or orange juice concentrate, apple juice, etc) into

a quart of water (with ice cubes), add several drops of

Sucralose, and create a healthy low-calorie drink better

than any diet soda. This fruit punch recipe has become

very popular, because it tastes as good and sweet as

regular fruit juice -- but without the sugar, and

without the calories.

Listing of 100% juice concentrate flavors:

1) orange

2) purple grape

3) apple

4) cherry-apple

5) kiwi-apple

6) mango-apple

7) raspberry-apple

8) strawberry-apple

9) pineapple-orange

10) white grape

11) pear-apple

12) pineapple

Fruit juice concentrates are usually concentrated

in a 1 to 4 ratio, and the ones you want to buy

are the ones that say " 100% fruit Juice " .

I prefer to use Sucralose (rather then Splenda) because

it is 3 1/2 times less expensive per unit of sweetening

power. Sucralose also has zero calories, while Splenda

contains maltodextrin, fillers, and other additives.

However, Sucralose is a bulk commercial product, and

not sold in stores. I happen to have it on hand and

make it available to others on an experimental basis

for recipe manufacture and development, only because

someone else secured an industrial contract to

purchase it.

To try out the recipe, use Splenda. Only if you use

a lot of Splenda (a dollar or two a week) would it be

worthwhile to contact me (off list, privately only)

in order to try out Sucralose rather than Splenda.

You may also be able to find Sucralose direct on

the Internet, if you look around too.
