Re: OT - Pick Your Poison - aspertame or splenda? - rant on quality of internet information

Jeez I am hiring oyu as my typist! LOL You do rant well when you rant. I

agree it is a dauning and frustrating world out there when you try to

sort out reality from imagination on what is healthyenough to be able to

eat when you have Diabetes. I admit I do indulge in some Splenda

myself.. can;t stomach the taste of Stevia, and it is the best of bad

options I have found. I use the Da Vinci flavored syrips in my coffee.

Pass me the fluoride, I am having a good day! ! LOL

One thing I can tell you, Val, is there is a HUGE difference in taste

between Stevia brands and how much you use. The first one I had tasted

bitter to me, the second had an after taste, and I finally found one that I

like. I have to make sure not to use too much because it is stronger than

sugar and even this brand used to be kind of bitter but is better tasting

now.

Just in case you want to venture into Stevia again, lol.

I read that of all the artificial sweeteners out there,

*saccharine* might actually be the best - it apparently is closer to

natural things. Although it has an aftertaste almost as bad as

Stevia if I remember. People on Dr. B.'s diabtes forums have

reported that mixing sweeteners - stevia and splenda, or other

combination, can cancel the aftertaste. Splenda might do this as

it's so much sweeter than sugar, and might 'last longer' - long

enough to cover the aftertaste, or maybe do something to the 'bitter'

taste receptors that respond to it. Mixing stevia and erythrtol

might work as well. The think I really hate is that even if I wanted

to go to stevia completely (I use the Ultimate Stevia pure form - it

lasts absolutely forever), I forgo all the various flavors that Da

Vinci has (although the flavoring chemicals might not be so good for

you either!)

It *really* annoys me that they have Splenda-sweetened Coke in

*cans*, but not in bottles.. So if want a splenda soft drink, my

only option I know of is Diet Rite or " Zero " - unless I want to get

cans, which are more expensive (and are in aluminum..) I think at

one point they did have their Coke Zero with Splenda, but apparently

stopped that. What, do people who are concerned about sweeterners

not drink coke in bulk form bottles (would seem the opposite owuld be

true).

Our whole family likes Xylitol - tastes like sugar, few if any calories, is

actually good for teeth. You wouldn't want to use large amounts as it would

cause loose bowels in some, but you might want to look it up if you can't find

it in stores.
