sweeteners (I use splenda) increase or contribute to the need for a carb

fix?

Hi ,

For me it will if I use it even daily -- once in a while on oatmeal or

something is ok but not as a " daily " thing. The above article on Splenda

(sucralos) say's it is one of the artificial that doesn't kick in the carb

craving -- I personally disagree because it does for me... just the sweet

taste begets desire for more sweet taste cycle ~smile~

So, I have to be careful using it... however, I have found baking with it

for my family to be a real treat -- they have no idea they are getting a " no

sugar " version of banana bread ~smile~ and I'm not telling !!!

The Calorie Control Council has a lot of " studied " information on all types

of sweeteners that I found to be helpful.

hugz,
