Guest guest Posted October 6, 1999 Report Share Posted October 6, 1999 Wow I ordered splenda on Sat. and they shipped yesterday. I already got it. I just made some cheesecake with it. I will taste it after it's sat awhile. Initially it tastes like sugar. I got a bit of aftertaste, however that may be the whipped cream too.....Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 12, 1999 Report Share Posted October 12, 1999 I get my flu shot tomorrow, I'll let you know. Kathy Re: Splenda Here is my answer as to whether or not splenda is OK to use. Atkins uses it in it's atkins bars and plans on using it in even more of their products. I was hoping it was legal and not causing my stall. I also e-mailed them about flu shots. Has no one else gotten one? Yall need to the flu is lousy...Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 1999 Report Share Posted October 12, 1999 This also came from Atkins FAQ..JeanQuestion Answer I've read warnings on the use of aspartame and other artificial sweeteners. So why do you use artificial sweeteners in your recipes and food products? With several qualifications, it's a trade-off we're willing to make. Sugar, because it's a carbohydrate, is strictly limited on the Atkins Diet. However, the prudent, moderate use of artificial sweeteners, such as saccharin, aspartame, and acesulfame-k, is usually acceptable. We don't grant permission willingly. Depending on how much is used, the substitutes can provoke a variety of negative reactions and problems unrelated to carbohydrate metabolism. High consumption of aspartame, for instance, has been linked to numerous illnesses, and saccharin is still classified as a potential carcinogen (although the original research has been long since discredited). The risk increases along with the amount used, therefore, less is more. Sugar substitutes have a synergistic sweetness. Mixing together tiny amounts of each creates a more sugary taste than does using a larger amount of any single one. You can end up getting a lot of sweetness on a lot less sweetener. Our favorite sugar substitutes are Stevia and sucralose. The natural sweetness of the herb Stevia, consumed in Japan with no ill effects for more than 25 years, is so powerful that you need to use only a minuscule amount. It’s slight licorice taste blends well with the artificial sweeteners. Until relatively recently, the Food and Drug Administration completely forbade Stevia's use in the United States. With the import ban now lifted, Stevia is freely available at health-food stores-but only as a nutritional supplement. It can't be sold as a sweetener. Tested for its safety and efficacy for many years, Sucralose has been marketed under the name " Splenda " in Australia, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Columbia, Lebanon, Venezuela and New Zealand since 1991. On April 1, 1998, the Food and Drug Administration approved it for use in most food products in the United States. Sucralose is the first non-caloric sweetener created from sugar and is approximately 600 times sweeter. What's exciting about this new sweetener is that, unlike aspartame, sucralose is completely inert to the body's digestive system, quickly passing through, and does not accumulate in the body's tissues. In addition, it does not lose its sweetness when heated, so it can be used in cooking and baking. It is now being used to sweeten the Atkins Diet Advantage Bars and cheesecakes.

Better yet, you can cook with it. Splenda is SO worth the money! Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 29, 1999 Report Share Posted October 29, 1999 Hi Cyndy, I am in Memphis, TN. Would appreciate any help on finding products that are on the Atkins diet. Is Splenda in the stores yet? I looked for RC cola tonite at Kmart. They had the regular but no diet RC. I ended up getting diet Sprite which is caffeine free. So, if I HAVE to have a coke, then at least it won't have the caffeine. I really want to stay strictly on the induction diet til I see PURPLE! I got on this about 20 years ago and saw purple within the first 2-3 days. Guess being younger, I probably burned up carbs faster. I went shopping tonite. I got the heavy cream and it said 0 carbs. I also picked up a log of summer sausage which said 0 carbs. Now, is this " free " ? I went crazy checking carbs on everything! I got some cottage cheese and cream cheese (also 0 carbs). So I sat down to a snack of cheese tonite. But I have been reading these posts and it looks like too much cheese can slow down loss so I will watch that too. My main purchase is my heavy cream. I had been using Coffeemate's French Vanilla creamer (liquid) in my coffee before the diet. I LOVE it. So, I will make my own now. My recipe is heavy cream, drop of vanilla extract and Nutra Sweet (til my Splenda gets here). I will let you know how it works after tomorrow morning.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 1999 Report Share Posted October 29, 1999 lyn, You have to remember that even if it says 0 carbs that it means the carbs are less then 0.5 The law is if it is 0-0.5 then they can put 0 carbs on it, it it says >1 carb that means 0.5-0.9 carbs are in it. always keep that in mind when eating 0 carb food. Summer sausage is a processed meat ant that usually means there is corn syrup or sugar in it when they make it. not enough to really worry about but just FYI!!
