Guest guest Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Lynn... Yes, it's the same... and it's okay.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Hi , Sorry, but no, to using the glycerin as swetener. It is okay in small amounts, like for meds or in vanilla extracts etc, but not in large amounts like using for pancakes etc..
