No long term studies on this. But then with my recipes,no sweetener is really needed. I do not take Dr. Mercolatoo seriously, though the Sucralose is a by-product of chemi-cal fractionalization.Cheers!nTo: MSersLife Sent: Fri, May 6, 2011 4:30:30 PMSubject: Re: Smoothies/ingredients/ why Sucralose or Stevia, etc.

Most artificial sweeteners are bad, but Sucralose is a derivativeof sucrose. I was tempted to suggest a form of Stevia, but it has a rather acidic aftertaste. My endocrinologist put me onto Sucralose.I am allergic to Mannitol, which is used in "sugar-free" ice creamand sugar-free frozen yogurts. Stevia does have real possibilities,and is not a true sugar and is natural; I found Truvia to be the bestof these. I would only add any sweetening agent if the fruit was very sour or tart.The same smoothie can be made with a food processor, or evena hand-held blender or food processor.Good luck!Love,n
