FW: splenda and sucralose

[Guest guest]

There's been previous discussion on the sweetner of choice (sucralose) for

cronies and its' brand name equivalent sold in stores (Splenda). Warren

, in his post to the main list below, gives a nice discussion of the

difference. Also for those interested in ordering from Warren, note his

ALL:

How do Splenda and Sucralose differ?

This question is asked so frequently, that I am

negligent in failing to get the answer out.

It is one of the most commonly asked questions.

The Sucralose available on this list is the original

manufactured pure powder concentrate, 600 times

sweeter than sugar. We get it at the lowest price

possible, direct from the factory. This pure factory

Sucralose powder has absolutely no additives or fillers.

Since pure Sucralose is so ultra-concentrated, it must

be used and handled with care.

The Splenda packets that you purchase at the grocery

store cost approx 5 times more (per equivalent serving).

And -- believe it or not -- Splenda is almost

100% fillers. The amount of actual Sucralose in a

Splenda packet is miniscule. All the rest of the

Splenda packet is nothing but filler. The fillers

are there for a good reason. The purpose of the fillers

in a Splenda packet is to dilute the Sucralose, so people

can use it conveniently, in a less concentrated form.

The average buying public could never conveniently

handle the pure Sucralose powder direct from the factory.

The public wants something simple and easy in a packet.

Pure Sucralose is just too concentrated to use

directly in a powdered form as a packet. That is why

we get Sucralose at such a low price -- it is the

" pure, undiluted, factory-direct powder concentrate " .

Therefore, we can get the wholesale price on it --

provided that we make a huge bulk purchase, and make

that purchase via contract through a corporate

financing arrangement. That is exactly what we did.

There is no other way to get a 500 percent discount

on a large factory purchase.

Special handling instructions for the Sucralose

concentrate are included with each order. The pure

powder is not hard to handle. You either need the

tiniest spoon in the world (Baby Sea Monkey feeding

spoon courtesy of Dean Pomerleau), or an eye-dropper

dispensing bottle (Courtesy of Carl Struycken).

These both come with your order, for free.

Shipping is for free if you purchase 100 kg sugar-equiv.

Otherwise, if you want to get just 50 kg worth,

there is a $7.00 shipping fee. Either way, you still

get the tiny spoon and the eye dropper automatically

for free with each order.

Is it worth it? Spend $500.00 for Splenda,

or spend $100.00 for the same amount of Sucralose.

You decide. Powder concentrate is less convenient --

but paying $400.00 less is a big savings.
