Diet Pepsi Slurpees-Not for SCD

[Guest guest]

http://www.caloriecontrol.org/tagatose.html

Diet Pepsi Slurpees contain a new low calorie sweetener called

Tagatose. I found this when looking for the ingredients online. The

link above provides fairly detailed information on how Tagatose is

processed by the body. One section in particular stands out:

" Only 15-20 percent of tagatose is absorbed in the small intestine.

The major part of ingested tagatose is fermented in the colon by

indigenous microflora....

With certain sensitive individuals, mild gastrointestinal discomfort

(e.g., flatulence and laxation) may occur as with other low digestible

carbohydrates. "

This makes me believe that Elaine would NOT have approved of this

product.
